Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
N.C. [ch]A[/ch]
"So you're going to leave the old home, Jim; today, you're going away
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
So you're going among the city folks to dwell"
ch]A[/ch
So spoke a kind old mother to her boy, one summer day
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
"If your mind's made up that way, I wish you well
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
The old home will be lonesome, we'll miss you when you go
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
The birds won't sing so sweet when you're not nigh
ch]A[/ch
But if you get in trouble, Jim, just write and let us know"
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
She spoke these words and then she said, "Goodbye"
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
If sickness overtakes you or old companions shake you
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
As through this world, you wander all alone
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
When friends you haven't any, in your pocket not a penny
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
There's a mother always waiting you at home
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch
Ten years later, to this village came a stranger no one knew
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
His steps were halt and ragged clothes, he wore
ch]A[/ch
The little children laughed at him as down the lane, he trod
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
At last, he stopped before a cottage door
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
He gently knocked, no sound he heard, he thought, "Can she be dead?"
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
But then, he heard a voice well known to him
ch]A[/ch
'twas his mother's voice, but her hair had silvered by the touch of time
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
And she said, "Thank God, they've sent me home my Jim"
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
If sickness overtakes you or old companions shake you
ch]A[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
As through this world, you wander all alone
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
When friends you haven't any, in your pocket not a penny
ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
There's a mother always waiting you at home
