So youC're going to leave the old home Jim
Today you're Fgoing aCway
So you're G7going among the city folk to Cdwell
So spoke a kind old mother to her boy Fone summer's Cday
If you're G7mind's made up that way I wish you Cwell
The Fold home will be Clonesome
We'll miss you when you go
The birds won't sing so sweet when you're not G7nigh
But Cif you get in trouble Jim just write and Flet us Cknow
She spoke these G7words and then she said goodCbye
If Fsickness over Ctakes you
And old companions shake you
As through this world you wander all aG7lone
When Cfriends you haven't any
In your Fpocket not a penny
There's a Cmother always G7waiting you at Chome
Ten years later to this village came a stranger Fno one Cknew
His steps were G7haunt and ragged clothes he Cwore
The little children laughed at him
As down the Flane he Ctrod
At last G7he stopped before a cottage Cdoor
He Fgently knocked no Csound he heard
He thought can she be dead
But then he heard a voice well known to G7him
Twas Chis mother's voice but her hair had silvered
By the Ftouch of Ctime
And she G7said thank God they've sent me home my CJim
If Fsickness over Ctakes you
And old companions shake you
As through this world you wander all aG7lone
When Cfriends you haven't any
In your Fpocket not a penny
There's a Cmother always G7waiting you at Chome
