Give Mother My Crown

E  H7  E 
 
1. 
    E                  A            E 
She labored so hard in this world below 
    E                           F#            H7 
She didn't have the things that most Mother's know, 
E                          E7            A 
raising, her children on a widow's small pay. 
E                         H7          E     E7 
Washing and ironing since Dad passed away. 
 
CHORUS 
 
  A                                       E 
I want to go to heaven, when this life is ore, 
  E                         F#        H7 
I want to be with Jesus On eternity's shore. 
       E                                    A 
But if I've a crown coming When rewards go around, 
E                         H7        E 
Please blessed Jesus give Mother my crown. 
 
2. 
 
  E                      A       E 
I didn't realize it when I was a lad 
     E                  F#        H7 
Just how great a burden my Mother had. 
 E                       E7          A 
Adoption was offered but Mother said no. 
    E                           H7           E   E7 
She raised us and taught us the right way to go. 
 
CHORUS 
 
  A                                       E 
I want to go to heaven, when this life is ore, 
  E                         F#        H7 
I want to be with Jesus On eternity's shore. 
       E                                    A 
But if I've a crown coming When rewards go around, 
E                         H7        E 
Please blessed Jesus give Mother my crown. 
E                         H7        E 
Please blessed Jesus give Mother my crown.
