v.1
DShe labored so hard in Gthis world beDlow
DShe didn't have things that Emost mothers Aknow
DRaisin' her children on a widow's small Gpay
DWashin' and ironin' since ADad passed aDway
Chorus:
I Gwant to go to Heaven when this life is Do'er
DI want to be with Jesus on eEternity's Ashore
But if DI've a crown comin' when rewards roll aGround
DOh, please, blessed Jesus, give AMother my Dcrown
v.2
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
