VERSE
   D                     D        D7
In dreams of yesterday I wandered
     G                  D
Back to my little cabin door
  D                           D
I strolled beside an old rock garden
    D                        A
And saw familiar scenes once more
  D                      D      D7
I heard the organ softly playing
    G                       D
Its music came so sweet and low
      D                       D
And I heard my mother sweetly singing
   D         A        D
As oft I did so long ago
 
 
VERSE
  D                           D    D7
I heard her sing the “Rock of Ages”
     G                        D
And “Silver Threads Among the Gold”
    D                     D
She told me once again of Jesus
    D                    A
Within that little cabin fold
    D                   D     D7
She opened up her faded Bible
          G                      D
Where the family records used to be
      D                          D
And I knew it was the same sweet mother
     D             A       D
That years ago had cradled me
 
 
CHORUS
      D                    D    D7
I was dreaming of a little cabin
      G                      D
And I heard somebody call my name
  D                          D
I Looked and saw a sweet old lady
       D                     A
And it seemed I was a child again
    D                    D        D7
She gently put her arms around me
    G                          D
And kissed her little boy once more
  D                          D
I knew it was the same sweet mother
     D                  A       D
That had kissed me many times before

OUTRO
  D                        D       D7
I miss her voice so gently calling
  G                         D
I miss her precious guiding hand
      D                            D
But I know that when I reach God’s city
     D                A  N.C.  D
I’ll hear her call my name    again
