G C
I know the best hearted fellow

D7 G
He'd even give his oldest shirt a way

C
The neighbors all know he's a kind hearted fellow

D7 G
And here's what you’ll hear them say


C G
He holds the lantern while his mother chops the wood

D7
He holds the lantern just as any good son should

G C G
He's mighty handy and he's always standing by

C D7 G
When she's through chopping one load he'll get her a new supply


D7
And when she is exhausted he's equal to the test

G
He lays right down beside her and helps his ma to rest

C
While she is axing he is busily relaxing

G D7 G
He holds the lantern while his mother chops the wood


C G
He holds the lantern while his mother chops the wood

D7
He holds the lantern and he surely does it good

G C G
She hacks and hacks away until her back is sprained

C D7 G
While her son holds the lantern so her eyes will not get strained


D7
You'll never find him stopping to take a holiday

G
Cause when it comes to chopping every day is Mother' Day

C
While she's perspiring her dear son is most inspiring

G D7 G
He holds the lantern while his mother chops the wood


C G
He holds the lantern while his mother chops the wood

D7
While she is pantin' he pants too that's understood

G C G
He's tender hearted when she chops he almost cries

C D7 G
He can't stand seeing mother work so he just shuts his eyes


D7
He's big and strong and healthy and he weighs two fifty net

G
But moving those big muscles is what he ain't done yet

C
But he's sure respected her and to show he's not neglectin' her

G D7 G
He holds the lantern while his mother chops the wood
