Biography:
Wilf Carter (born December 18, 1904 in Port Hilford, Nova Scotia, Canada, died December 5, 1996 in Scottsdale, Arizona), also known as Montana Slim, was a Canadian country music singer and yodeler.
In 1923, Carter moved west to Calgary, Alberta, where he found work as a cowboy and made extra money singing and playing his guitar. It was during this time that he developed his own yodeling style, sometimes called an "echo yodel" or a "three-in-one".

My Little Grey Haired Mother In The West: Wilf Carter

Note: I am not sure the word flickering is correct.
Capo 1st Fret
D D7 G Em
There?s an old fashioned cottage a- -way out in the west
A A7 D
Those golden memories linger for the one I love the best (they sure do)
D7 G Em
Now she?s singing with the angels and en- -joying peaceful rest
A A7 D
Memories of my grey haired mother in the west
D7 G Em
In visions I still see her in that old time rocking chair
A A7 D
While time has gently whitened up her locks of her golden hair
D7 G Em
She would sit beside the window while the sun went thru her dress
A A7 D
Watching for her cowboy riding from the west
D7 G Em
When at last the shades of twilight that were falling into night
A A7 D
Cross the valley on the hillside I could spy a FLICKERING light
D7 G Em
She would often HANG the lamplight, it would guide me to my rest
A A7 D
To my little grey haired mother in the west
D D7 G Em
One day I left her cottage and my little mother dear
A A7 D
To ride the lonely ranges, it was there I roamed for years
D7 G Em
Round the campfire in the evenin? singin? songs we said it best
A A7 D
Of our little grey haired mothers in the west
D7 G Em
One day I get a letter from my darling mother dear
A A7 D
And it read come home and see me, my time is drawing near
D7 Em
That night a-gazing cross the valley there a FLICKERING light did shine
A A7 D
From a cottage window ?neath the lonely pine
D7 G Em
Now she?s gone to join the angels where her troubles all are ore
A A7 D
And I know that she?ll be happy on the bright and golden shore
D7 G Em
When the roll is called up yonder, may I meet that final test
A A7 D
Meet my little grey haired mother way out west
