Always Take Mother's Advice.
Copyright, 1884, by Willis Woodward & Co.
Words and Music by Jennie Lindsay.
Always take mother's advice,
She knows what is best for your good;
Let her kind words then suffice,
And never speak hasty or rude.
Remember that she is the nearest.
To you in this world she is dearest,
At your downfall her grief is severest,
So don't cause her sorrow or pain.
Chorus.
Always take mother's advice,
She knows what is best for your good;
Let her kind words then suffice,
And always take mother's advice.
Honor your mother so dear,
You'll ne'er know her worth 'till she's gone;
Respect her gray hair while she's here.
You'll be sad when she leaves you alone.
On earth you will ne'er have another,
In this weary world there's no other,
And God only gives you one mother,
So cherish and love her most dear.-Chorus.
