[Verse]
A
One day a mother went to a prison
E7 A
To see an erring but precious son
A
She told the warden how much she loved him
E7 A
It did not matter what he had done
[Chorus]
A
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon
E7 A
She brought no silver, no pomp or style

It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
A E7 A
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

She left a smile you can remember

She's gone to Heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
E7 A
You were her baby and e'er will be
[Chorus]

She did not bring to him a parole or pardon

She brought no silver, no pomp or style

It was a halo bright sent down from heaven's light
