A Message To My Mother
written and recorded by Hank Williams
C G7
The struggle for life would soon be over
C
A young man on his death bed lay
G7
He raised his head in dying anger
C
And this is what I heard him say
F C
Take this message to my mother
G7
It will fill her heart with joy
C G7
Tell her that I've met my Savior
C
God has saved her wandering boy
G7
The tears and sorrow I have caused her
C
How I wish I could repay
G7
But tell her I'll be waiting for her
C
We'll meet in heaven some glad day
G7
How she cried when I left her
C
I know it filled her heart with pain
C G7
She said son please don't leave me
C
For we may never meet again
G7
Years have passed since that parting
C
But I know she waits and prays
G7
Soon I'll cross that dark river
C
Please let her know that I was saved
