	  C 
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
