Verse 2
C 
F 
Oh no, don't neglect your
Dm 
mommy's soul
G 
C 
Don't leave her in tears and sorrow
Don't forget that you
F 
Dm 
owe her the respect
G 
C 
That all good mothers should get
F 
Dm 
C 
You've got to make it a   point of duty
Dm 
G 
To try and see that
C 
she's always happy
Dm 
A 
Not like those who just pay the bill
Dm 
F 
G 
Only to make sure that their name
Am 
G 
C 
come out in the will
G 
You drove her out of mind,
Am 
G 
you treated her unkind
C 
A 
How could you be so blind
Dm 
to leave mama to pine
Faug 
The pain she had to bear
F 
G 
to bring you safely here
Baug 
C 
And now you don't really care
You treated her crude
and for your ingratitude
Someday you will have to pay
F 
Because retribution meet
Dm 
C 
Am 
s  every man
C 
Dm 
G 
C 
who treats his mommy that way
F 
Dm 
My friend, tell me why do you pretend
G 
to remember your mother then?
C 
Am 
C 
Why do  you mourn
F 
when she's buried all alone
Dm 
F 
G 
Baug 
And no longer can she return
C 
F 
The Lord above will take
Dm 
C 
care of her up there
G 
C 
But your obligation lies right here
Dm 
A 
Am 
It's unkind to leave her undone
Dm 
G 
Dm 
G 
C 
Don't be a blasted, ungrateful son
G 
Now after all is said and done,
Am 
I'm warning every son
C 
Am 
Dm 
Give your mama your love and affection
Faug 
Try to understand,
F 
Dm 
G 
she did the be  st she can
C 
Now give her a helping hand
No, you cannot repay
even until your dying day
C 
C 
Though you may own the
F 
stars and moon above
You'll be a very lucky fella
C 
Am 
if you still have the treasure
Dm 
G 
As the wealth of a mother's
C 
F 
Dm 
love
G 
C 
F 
You
