Sunbonnet Mother (Don Stover)
08042008 Valley Park, MO.
D G D
CHORUS: O God, be good to mother, wherever she may be.
E7 A D
Please grant her peace and comfort over there -and keep her-
D G D
Just the same sweet smiling angel that she always seemed to me,
E7 A D
In that old sunbonnet that she use to wear.
D G D
There's a faded old sunbonnet on the peg behind the door.
A
It's the one my sainted mother use to wear,
D G D
Till one day she hung it up and never took it down no more,
A D
And since that day it's still up hanging there.
G D
God gave Sunbonnet Mother a special kind of love,
A
Until the day he laid her burden down.
D G D
She would pull that old sunbonnet down low upon her face
A D
To hide from us the weary written there.
