Your Mother Still Prays For You, Jack

             G                             C                D                          G
    The night was dark and stormy, the wind was howling wild,
              G                    C                       D                     G
    as an aged mother gazed upon the portrait of her child.
                  G                             C                   D                                     G
    As she gazed on the baby's features that once filled her heart with joy,
              G                               C                     D                         G
    he's now in this wild world roaming, that mother's long lost boy.

           G                              C                        D                             G
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you,
        G                          C                   D                              G
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.

         G                          C                    D                       G
    At last there came a letter, it was deeply edged in black,
                 G                        C                 D                         G
    from a comrade long forgotten, who still remembered Jack.
                      G                            C                 D                         G
    They have lain your dear old mother in a grave so dark and cold,
                    G                               C
    and she wants her boy who is roaming
            D                                     G
    to meet her on the streets of gold.

           G                              C                        D                             G
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you,
        G                          C                   D                              G
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.

             G                       C                     D                               G
    His stony heart was broken, as he thought of his mother dear,
              G                               C                    D                                   G
 and in spite of his comrades laughing, he could not keep back his tears.
           G                                 C                D                                    G
    In spite of the great tempolations that once filled his heart with tears,
               G                                 C                      D                             G
   so he started for Heaven that evening, as sweetly the people did sing.

           G                              C                        D                             G
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you,
        G                          C                   D                              G
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.
