THE SWEETEST GIFT
charted by Bo Frazer 
-------------------------------------------
This is a wonderful song originally by The Blue Sky Boys, I think, 
made most famous by Linda Ronstadt & EmmyLou Harris, Judds, and
last (but best, imho) Hazel Dickens & Alice Girard.  My wife and I 
do it in our church every Mother's Day.  In the chorus, there's an 
echo thing happening, where the two vocal parts are not simultaneous.
-------------------------------------------
Verse1:
          C
One day a mother came to a prison
          G                   C
To see an erring but precious son.

She told the warden how much she loved him;
           G                  C
It did not matter what he had done.

Chorus:
            C
She did not bring         a parole or pardon.
           (bring to him)            (pardon plea)
               G                     C
She brought no silver     no pomp or style.
              (brought no gold)     (none to see)
                                         F
It was a halo             sent down from heaven,
        (halo bright)                   (heaven's light)
             C       G        C
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile.     


Verse2:
Her boy had wandered far from the fireside,
Though she had pleaded with him each night.
But not a word did she ever utter;
Her heart was flowing, her smile was bright.
[CHORUS]

Verse3:
She left a smile you can remember.
She's gone to heaven from heartache's grief.
Those walls around you will never change you;
You were her baby and e'er will be.
[CHORUS]
