DEAR BROTHER Lyrics

Recorded by Hank Williams, Sr. (With Audrey Williams)

Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.

[C] Dear Brother, Mama left us this morning

Death's [G7] angels took her a-[C] way

She's gone to meet Daddy up there in heaven

But [G7] we'll meet again some [C] day. [C7]

She [F] left this world with a [C] smile on her face

Whisp'ring the Saviour's [G7] name

[C] Dear Brother, Mama left us this morning

For the [G7] city where is no [C] pain.

As I stood by her bedside, those last few moments

I lived my childhood again

I thought of you Brother and of the old homestead

And my tears they fell like rain.
