Give Mother My Crown Lyrics

She labored so hard in this world below she didn't have things that most mothers know

Raising her children on a widow's small pay washing and ironing since dad passed away

I wanna go to heaven when this life is o'er I wanna be with Jesus on eternity shore

But if I've a crown coming when rewards go around

Please blessed Jesus give mother my crown

[ fiddle - dobro ]

I didn't realize it when I was a lad just how great a burden my mother had

Adoption was offered but mama said no

She raised us and taught us the right way to go

I wanna go to heaven...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
