G C A7
When I was but a little child how well I recollect
D7 G D7
How I would grieve my mother with my folly and neglect

And now that she has gone to Heaven I miss her tender care
D7 G
O Savior tell my mother I’ll be there
[Chorus]
G C G
Tell mother I’ll be there in answer to her prayer
D7 G
This message blessed Savior to her bear

Tell mother I’ll be there heaven’s joys with her to share

Yes tell my darling mother I’ll be there
[Verse 2]

Though I was often wayward she was always kind and good

My childhood grief’s and trials she would gladly with me share

O Savior tell my mother I’ll be there

[Verse 3]

One day a message came to me it bade me quickly come
D7 G D7
If I would see my mother ere the Savior took her home
G C A7
I promised her before she died for heaven to prepare

O Savior tell my mother I’ll be there
[Chorus]

This message blessed Savior to her bear

Tell mother I’ll be there heaven’s joys with her to share
