E A E B7 E
[Verse 1]
E
One day a mother came to a prison
B7 E
To see an 'erring but precious son
E
She told the warden how much she loved him
B7 E
It did not matter what he had done
[Chorus]
E
She did not bring parole or pardon
B7 E
She brought no silver no pomp or style
A
It was a halo sent down from heaven

The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
[Instrumental]

Her boy had drifted far from the far side
B7 E
Though she had pleaded with him each night
E
Yet not a word did she ever utter
B7 E
That told her heartaches her smile was bright
[Chorus]
E
She did not bring parole or pardon
B7 E
She brought no silver no pomp or style
A
It was a halo sent down from heaven

She left a smile you can remember
B7 E
She's gone to heaven from heartaches free
E
The bars around you could never change her
B7 E
You were her baby and ever will be
[Outro]
E
She did not bring parole or pardon
B7 E
She brought no silver no pomp or style
A
It was a halo sent down from heaven
E B7 E
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
