She labored so hard in this world below
She didn't have the things most Mother's
know, raising, her children on a widow's small pay
Washing and ironing since Dad passed away
 

I want to go to heaven, when this life
is ore, I want to be with Jesus on
eternity's shore. But if I've a crown coming
When rewards go around, Please blessed
Jesus give Mother my crown
 

I didn't realize it when I was a lad
Just how great a burden my Mother had
Adoption was offered but Mama said no
She raised us and taught us the right way to go
 

I want to go to heaven, when this life
is ore, I want to be with Jesus on
eternity's shore. But if I've a crown coming
When rewards go around, Please blessed
Jesus give Mother my crown


Give Mother My Crown -Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs
