Refrain: She’s a little old fashioned, But she’s sweeter each day; I adore her plain features, And her thin locks of gray; There’s a glory around her, God abides it may be, And she is for ever Sweetest mother to me. 2 She’s a little old fashioned, That sweet mother of mine; Though even her plainness Now my heartstrings entwine; Other hands may be fairer, But none other so dear, For they smoothed my pillow, For many a year. [Refrain] 3 She’s a little old fashioned, She stays closely at home, So calm and contented, Although others may roam; And in tender young childhood, ’Twas that home sheltered me, And she who so graced it, Dearest ever shall be.
