[Eb] [Bb] She [Eb]
sits there in the corner in that [Ab] old easy chair
[Bb] Grandchildren all around her, not [Ab] a worry or a [Eb] care
Mother's birthday is today, [Ab] she won't tell her age
[Bb] She just smiles and winks and says, [Ab] I've turned another [Eb] page
As we sat there talking, [Ab] as conversations flow
[Bb] The memories came flooding back, [Ab] of days so [Eb] long ago
She worked in the fields with dad, [Ab] the morning under the dust
[Bb] Raising a big family, [Ab] on hard work, [Eb] love and pride
Everybody's had a work, [Ab] everybody's had [Eb] one
I hope she'll be alone
[Bb] She [Eb] brought us all into this work, [Ab] a lady with a heart of [Eb] gold
[Bb] She brought [Eb] her mind, oh
I remember well my younger [Ab] days, working on the farm
She [Bb] always said, hard labor, [Ab] never done you [Eb] any harm
And she'd never go to sleep at night, [Ab] sometimes we'd be late
[Bb] A dedicated mother, [Ab] who didn't [Eb] mind the waiting
Now a whole new generation, [Ab] is part of God's great plan
[Bb] His mentor name is Jane, [Ab] and mother now is [Eb] known at grand
And as her young grandchildren [Ab] sing happy birthday dear
Mother [Bb] gives them all a hug, [Ab] and wipes [Eb] away the tears
Everybody's had a [Ab] work, everybody's had [Eb] one
I hope she'll be alone
[Bb] She [Eb] brought us all into this work, [Ab] a lady with a heart of [Eb] gold
[Bb] Sweet mother, [Eb] my
Yes everybody's loved one, [Ab] everybody's had one
[Eb] I hope she'll be alone
[Bb] She [Eb] brought us all into this work, [Ab] a lady with a heart of [Eb] gold
