G                           C            G 
On a dark stormy night the angels called mother 
                 G                       D 
Her love that we shared for such a short while 
              G          C               G 
She called us around and told us she was leaving 
                 G        D           G 
Then closing her eyes she went with a smile 


[Refrão]
G                      C            G 
Mother that rests in a lonesome old graveyard 
                G                              D 
On a hill a far away there's stands her white tomb 
                       G       C        G     
With the grass covered over it seems so neglected 
                        G            D            G 
When the spring seasons comes sweet flowers will bloom 
 
 
G                          C           G 
I'll never forget the love mother gave us 
                      G              D 
As children we'd play around our old home 
            G          C          G 
I know her reward is a mansion in heaven 
 
                   G        D                 G 
While her children on earth are scattered and gone
