CHORUS
7
Your mother is praying for you, son,
8
Tho' she's hiding each tear with a smile,
9
Asking the Saviour to guide you,
10
To watch over you all the while,
11
Fight and be brave for the morrow will drive the dark clouds from the blue
12
And remember each night say a prayer son
13
For the one that is praying for you.

Poetry.
15
Yes soldier you can afford to be brave
16
Lift high that old banner and long may she wave
17
Think of that sweetheart so brave and so true
18
And then think of your old mother who's praying for you.
19
She thinks your tops cause you went over there to fight
20
For Canada and for England and all things thats right
21
So you've no need to worry son how she is at home
22
Cause she's too busy filling stamp books and paying for bonds.
23
Just keep up the courage soldier cause one of these days
24
You'll set the whole wide world free and then back o'er the waves
25
You'll come sailing a hero to the one that loves you
26
To that loving old mother who's been praying for you.
