MEMORIES OF MOTHER (Ralph Stanley) From "Clinch Mountain Country" (Rebel-5001) Released May 1998 Ralph Stanley with CLAIRE LYNCH Disk 1/Track 8
Key of G
INTRO G C G D G
VERSE 1 G C G On a dark stormy night the angels called mother G D Her love that we shared for such a short while G C G She called us around and told us she was leaving G D G Then closing her eyes she went with a smile
CHORUS G C G Mother that rests in a lonesome old graveyard G D On a hill a far away there's stands her white tomb G C G With the grass covered over it seems so neglected G D G When the spring seasons comes sweet flowers will bloom
VERSE 2 I'll never forget the love mother gave us As children we'd play around our old home I know her reward is a mansion in heaven While her children on earth are scattered and gone
(CHORUS)
