[Verse 1]
One day a mother went to a prison
To see an erring, but precious son
She told the warden how much she loved him
It did not matter what he had done
[Chorus]
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon plea
She brought no silver (Brought no gold), no pomp or style (None to see)
It was a halo bright, sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
[Verse 2]
She left a smile you can remember
She's gone to heaven from heartaches free
Those walls around you could never change her
You were her baby and e'er will be
[Chorus]
She did not bring to him a parole or pardon plea
She brought no silver (Brought no gold), no pomp or style (None to see)
It was a halo bright, sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift, a mother's smile
