Sowell God bless my kind old mother What 'ere my fortunes be I'll never find another Who'll be so true to me Her hair which once was raven Is lined with silver now And crafty time has graven Deep wrinkles on her brow CHORUS: Oh how my life would alter If mother were not here And how my heart would falter Without her words to cheer Yet tho' her brow bears traces Of troubles and of care To me my mother's face is The fairest of the fair So tender and forgiving As gentle as a dove Ah! life were not worth living Without a mother's love (chorus) How often when complaining Of life's perplexing care When naught there seemed remaining Save countless ills to bear My mother's gentle chiding Has turned my thoughts above And roused faith abiding In God's redeeming love (chorus) |

They only have Sowell listed and not Jewell. I'll make a notation on the music, and Genie, you can have the copy. PM me you snail-mail addy, or remind me when next we Runamuck, okay? ~J |
