There's an old and faded picture on the wall
That has been hanging there for many years
There's a picture of the mother
And I know there is no other
That can take the place of mother on the wall

On the wall, on the wall
How I love that dear old picture on the wall
Time is quickly passing by and I bow my head and cry
But I know I'll meet my mother after all

Now the children have all been scattered, all been gone
And I have a little family of my own
And I know I love them well, more than any tom can tell
But I'll hold that dear old picture on the wall

On the wall, on the wall
How I love that dear old picture on the wall
Time is quickly passing by and I bow my head and cry
But I know I'll meet my mother after all

And I lost that dear old mother years ago
There is none too much troubles I can go
As my banjo makes it's chord, I am praying to the lord
Let me hold that dear old picture on the wall

On the wall, on the wall
How I love that dear old picture on the wall
Time is quickly passing by and I bow my head and cry
But I know I'll meet my mother after all

On the wall, on the wall
How I love that dear old picture on the wall
Time is quickly passing by and I bow my head and cry
But I know I'll meet my mother after all
