There are friends who will want you but just for a day
There are pals you think true but they'll cast you away
But there's one precious soul, boys, I'll sure recommend
Thru' this old world of sorrow she'll be true to till the end
Mother, though her hands are all wrinkled and old
Mother, silver hair that has lost all its gold
You left her alone, went to roam thru' the years
But all that you left her was heartaches and tears
So, kiss her old brow whisper softly and true
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you
On the door of a cottage a wreath sadly hung
And a hearse stood there waiting as the choir softly sung
There were flowers in their beauty and the old parson prayed
This was the last tribute as they left for her grave
Mother, though her hands are all wrinkled and old
Mother, silver hair that has lost all its gold
You left her alone, went to roam thru' the years
But all that you left her was heartaches and tears
So, kiss her old brow whisper softly and true
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you
She won't meet you tonight, son, when you crave her caress
She has reared you to manhood and now you've laid her to rest
Those flowers in their beauty, ah, to her their unknown
ââ¬~ââ¬~Cause tonight she's with the angels up around the bright throne
Mother, though her hands are all wrinkled and old
Mother, silver hair that has lost all its gold
You left her alone, went to roam thru' the years
But all that you left her was heartaches and tears
So, kiss her old brow whisper softly and true
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you
So, don't wait that late, boys, to try and repay
Give those flowers and those treasures and give them today
Let her know that you love her and show her that you care
ââ¬~Cause she's your mother, God lover her, she's as true as a prayer
Mother, though her hands are all wrinkled and old
Mother, silver hair that has lost all its gold
You left her alone, went to roam thru' the years
But all that you left her was heartaches and tears
So, kiss her old brow whisper softly and true
Mother, you're just an angel and I love you
