[G]By
the side [G7]of the [D]clear [D7]crystal [G]fountain
There [Em]stands a [Am]lonely [D]church yard closely [D7]by
There's
a [G]tombstone [G7]decor[D]ated [D7]with prim[G]roses
In the [Em]memory [Am]of a [D]loved one [D7]passed a[G]way
[D]Shall
I ne’er see a [D7]more gentle [G]mother
In the [Em]fields [Am]where the [D]wild flowers [D7]grow
I am [G]sorry
[G7]for the [D]loss I [D7]can't re[G]cover
Neath yon [Em]willow [Am]lies my [D]gentle [D7]mother’s [G]love
[G]Some
children [G7]take a [D]liking [D7]to their [G]parents
While some [Em]others [Am]fill their [D]mothers hearts with [D7]pain
But
some [G]day they [G7]will be [D]sorry [D7]for their [G]blindness
When the [Em]crying [Am]will not [D]bring her [D7]back
a[G]gain
[D]Shall I ne’er see a [D7]more gentle [G]mother
In the [Em]fields [Am]where the [D]wild flowers
[D7]grow
I am [G]sorry [G7]for the [D]loss I [D7]can't re[G]cover
Neath yon [Em]willow [Am]lies my [D]gentle [D7]mother’s
[G]love
Neath yon [Em]willow [Am]lies my [D]gentle [D7]mother’s [G]love-C-G
