Mother's Last Words To Her Son Tab por Washington Phillips

# Intro: F-C-F

F        C              F
I never can forget the day 
              A7                Dm
When my dear mother did sweetly say
           A#                 F
"You are leaving, my darling boy, 
             C                F
You always have been your mother's joy." 

F           C                   F
Now as you leave this world to roam
                A7             Dm
You may not be able to get back home 
              A#                F
But remember Jesus who lives on high 
                  C              F
Is watching over you with a mighty eye. 

F                   C                                F
The world is so full of old sin and woe 
           A7                   Dm
And many sorrows everywhere you go 
              A#              F
But remember Jesus who's everywhere
              C.        
If you get in trouble now, He'll 
          F
meet you there

F             C                F
If you'll bow down before His face
             A7                Dm
And trust in Him for His saving grace 
            A#                  F
You have a burden He'll make them light 
                 C               F
And He sure will guide you in the right

F                    C                           F
Now when I think of my Mother dear
                  A7                          Dm
How often she did, and try to cheer
                         A#                          F
My wandering mind, whilst going astray,
                   C                         F
By saying, "Son, accept the way."
