If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again Song Lyrics and Chords by George Jones

 

If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again
Recorded by George Jones
Written by James Rowe and James W. Vaughn
G 
How sweet and happy seemed those  
C 
days of which I  
G 
dream
 
When memory recalls  
A7 
them now and  
D7 
then
G 
And with what rapture sweet my  
C 
weary heart would  
G 
beat
 
If I could hear my mother  
D7 
pray 
 
 
G 
again
 
She used to pray that I on  
C 
Jesus would  
G 
rely
 
And always walk the  
A7 
shining gospel  
D7 
way
G 
So trusting in His love I'll  
C 
seek that home  
G 
above
 
For I shall meet my mother  
D7 
some glad  
G 
day
 
If I could hear my  
C 
mother pray  
G 
again
 
If I could hear her  
A7 
tender voice as  
D7 
then
G 
How happy I would be with who  
C 
means so much to  
G 
me
 
If I could hear my mother  
D7 
pray 
 
 
G 
again
 
Within the old home place her  
C 
patient smiling  
G 
face
 
Was always spreading  
A7 
comfort hope and  
D7 
cheer
G 
And when she used to sing to  
C 
her Eternal  
G 
King
 
It was the songs the angels  
D7 
loved to  
G 
hear
 
Her work on earth is done the  
C 
life crown has been  
G 
won
 
And she will be at  
A7 
rest with Him  
D7 
above
G 
And some glad morning she I  
C 
know will welcome  
G 
me
 
To that eternal home of  
D7 
peace and  
G 
love
Repeat #3

Who is George Jones?
- George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last two decades of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum".Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven, and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951. He served in the United States Marine Corps and was discharged in 1953. He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954. In 1959, Jones recorded "White Lightning", written by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968 he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later. Years of alcoholism compromised his health and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones". After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became sober for good in 1999. Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure.
George Jones has been called "The Rolls Royce Of Country Music" and had more than 160 chart singles to his name from 1955 until his death in 2013.
Johnny Cash once said, "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'"
