G D
thinking
of sweet by and by.

come
back like a dream with a sigh.

in
that cottage far over the sea.

there's
no one like mother to me.
C G
There's no one like mother to me.

no matter how poor she may be.

G D
I kissed them goodbye at the

and
tears on her cheeks I could see.

How often that sweet face I've
missed,
G D G
there's
no one like mother to me.

There's no one like mother to me.
