Give Mother My Crown - Flatt, Scruggs

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

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…
