So you're going to leave the old home Jim
             F      C
Today you're going away
          G7                           C
So you're going among the city folk to dwell
                                      F            C
So spoke a kind old mother to her boy one summer's day
          G7                                 C
If you're mind's made up that way I wish you well
    F                C
The old home will be lonesome
We'll miss you when you go
                                              G7
The birds won't sing so sweet when you're not nigh
    C                                        F      C
But if you get in trouble Jim just write and let us know
                G7                          C
She spoke these words and then she said goodbye
   F             C
If sickness over takes you
And old companions shake you
                                      G7
As through this world you wander all alone
     C
When friends you haven't any
        F
In your pocket not a penny
          C             G7             C
There's a mother always waiting you at home
                                                F      C
Ten years later to this village came a stranger no one knew
               G7                          C
His steps were haunt and ragged clothes he wore
The little children laughed at him
            F       C
As down the lane he trod
        G7                          C
At last he stopped before a cottage door
   F                 C
He gently knocked no sound he heard
He thought can she be dead
                                        G7
But then he heard a voice well known to him
     C
Twas his mother's voice but her hair had silvered
       F        C
By the touch of time
        G7                                     C
And she said thank God they've sent me home my Jim
   F             C
If sickness over takes you
And old companions shake you
                                      G7
As through this world you wander all alone
     C
When friends you haven't any
        F
In your pocket not a penny
          C             G7             C
There's a mother always waiting you at home
