None of them
G C D G
The night was dark and stormy, the wind was howling wild,
G C D G
as an aged mother gazed upon the portrait of her child.
G C D G
As she gazed on the baby's features that once filled her heart with joy,
G C D G
he's now in this wild world roaming, that mother's long lost boy.
G C D G
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you,
G C D G
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.
( G C D G )
G C D G
At last there came a letter, it was deeply edged in black,
G C D G
from a comrade long forgotten, who still remembered Jack.
G C D G
They have lain your dear old mother in a grave so dark and cold,
G C
and she wants her boy who is roaming
D G
to meet her on the streets of gold.
G C D G
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you,
G C D G
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.
( G C D G )
G C D G
His stony heart was broken, as he thought of his mother dear,
G C D G
and in spite of his comrades laughing, he could not keep back his tears.
G C D G
In spite of the great tempolations that once filled his heart with tears,
G C D G
so he started for Heaven that evening, as sweetly the people did sing.
G C D G
Your mother still prays for you, Jack, your mother still prays for you,
G C D G
in a home far over the ocean, your mother still prays for you.
