One day a mother | |
Come to a prison | |
To see an 'erring | |
But precious son | |
She told the warden | |
How much she loved him | |
It did not matter | |
What he had done | |
She did not bring to him | |
(bring to him) | |
Parole or pardon | |
(pardon free) | |
She brought no silver | |
(brought no gold) | |
No pomp nor style | |
(him to see) | |
It was a halo | |
(halo bright) | |
Sent down from heaven | |
(heaven's light) | |
The sweetest gift | |
(a mother's smile) | |
Her boy had wandered | |
Far from the far side | |
Though she had pleaded | |
With him each night | |
But not a word did | |
She ever utter | |
That told her heartaches | |
Her smile was bright | |
(repeat chorus) | |
She left a smile | |
You can remember | |
She's gone to heaven | |
From heartache's free | |
Them bars around you | |
Will never change her | |
He was her baby | |
An error will be | |
(repeat chorus) | |
It was a halo bright | |
Sent down from heaven's light | |
The sweetest gift | |
A mother's smile |
