Lyrics:

She labored so hard in this world below
She didn't have things that most mothers know
Raising her children on a widow's small pay
Washing and ironing since Dad passed away
I wanna go to Heaven when this life is o'er
I wanna be with Jesus on eternity's shore
But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around
Please, blessed Jesus, give Mother my crown

I didn't realize it when I was a lad
Just how great a burden my mother had
Adoption was offered, but Mama said no
She raised us and taught us the right way to go
I wanna go to Heaven when this life is o'er
I wanna be with Jesus on eternity's shore
But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around
Please, blessed Jesus, give Mother my crown
