I Have No Mother Now

Key of G

Verse

I hear the low winds sweeping
Through every bush and tree
Where my dear mother’s sleeping
Away from home and me

Chorus

Cold in the grave she’s lying
And sorrow shapes my brow
She’s gone from me to Heaven
I have no mother now

Verse

I see the pale moon shining
On mother’s white tombstone
With roses o’er entwining
They’re just like me and her

Chorus

They’re just me a weeping
As sorrow shapes my brow
She’s gone from me to heaven
I have no mother now

Verse

Sad was the hour of parting
In a voice so low and sweet
She said loved ones I’m dying
We must in Heaven meet

Chorus

Oh yes we’ll meet dear mother
On that eternal shore
And dwell as one in Heaven
Where parting comes no more

Chorus

Oh yes we’ll meet dear mother
On that eternal shore
And dwell as one in Heaven
Where parting comes no more
