Your Mother Still Prays For You Jack
Recorded by The Country Gentlemen
Written by A.P. Carter 

G                      C
The night was dark and stormy
    D7               G
The wind was howling wild
                  C
As an aged mother gazed upon
    D7              G 
The portrait of her child

                           C
As she gazed on the baby’s features
     D7                         G
That once filled her heart with joy
                            C
He’s now in this wild world roaming
     D7                 G
That mother’s long lost boy

                            C
Your mother still prays for you Jack
D7                          G
Your mother still prays for you
                       C
In a home far over the ocean
     D7                     G
Your mother still prays for you

                     C
At last there came a letter
       D7              G 
It was deeply edged in black
                       C 
From a comrade long forgotten
    D7               G 
Who still remembered Jack
 
                             C 
They have lain your dear old mother
     D7                G
In a grave so dark and cold
                             C      
And she wants her boy who is roaming
   D7                         G 
To meet her on the streets of gold

Repeat #3

                    C         
His stony heart was broken
      D7                    G       
As he thought of his mother dear
                             C
And in spite of his comrades laughing
   D7                      G
He could not keep back his tears

                          C
In spite of the great temptations
     D7                         G 
That once filled his heart with tears
                              C
So he started for Heaven that evening
   D7                     G
As sweetly the people did sing

                            C
Your mother still prays for you Jack
D7                          G
Your mother still prays for you
                       C
In a home far over the ocean
     D7                     C  G
Your mother still prays for you
