Mother's Day ditty - quite a bit of borrowing done from Elizabeth Cotten's 'When I'm Gone.'
When She's Gone A Variation of Elizabeth Cotten's When I'm Gone

If your mother's still with you, Tell her what she means to you.
Cause' you know you'll miss her when she's gone.

You'll miss her by her walk. You'll miss her by her talk
You know you'll miss her when she's gone.

When she's gone. When she's gone to her reward.
You know you'll miss her when she's gone.

You will look and she won't be there. You will wish she was still near.
You know you'll miss her when she's gone.

Instrumental

If your mother's still with you, Tell her what she means to you.
Cause' you know you'll miss her when she's gone.

Thanks, Danny.  Around here, we get hats like that at the farm stores.

Good job John. My mom has been gone for 24 years and think of her every day.

Thanks, Alan.  Eve after all this time, I am sad for your loss.
