[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

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

             A     E7         A                
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
[Verse] She left a smile you can remember
              E7                     A
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]
A
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon

               E7                 A
She brought no silver, no pomp or style

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

             A     E7         A                
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
[Chorus]
A
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon

               E7                 A
She brought no silver, no pomp or style

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

             A     E7         A                
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile

             A     E7         A                
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
