Words & Music by Hank SnowI never shall forget the dayI heard my dear old mother sayI'm leaving now the old home dear,remember Jack your mother's prayer.She left me as the golden sunbehind the hill top it did hide,And when I found that she had goneI laid my guitar down and cried.CHORUSAnd now she's gone this world is drear,I long to have dear mother here,She's gone to join the angels there,I'll not forget my mother's prayer.The birds were still, no sound was made,The organ sad but sweetly played,As by her side we gathered there,Our heads bowed down in silent prayer.We laid here where the fragrant rosewas blooming o'er her lonely grave,And now in answer to her prayerI'll meet dear mother some sweet day.
