| D | G | D | |
| This mornin' I gazed, through the | window so | clear |
| A | |
| And I couldn't help, but shed just a | tear |
| D | G | D | |
| I bowed my | head, and | I did | pray |
| A | D | |
| For I knew this was someone, yes | someone's last | day |
| CHORUS |
| D | G | D | |
| Someone, yes | someone's last | day |
| E-7 | A-7 | |
| Some soul, is | driftin' a- | -way |
| D | G | D | |
| Their life is | o'er, on | earth no | more |
| A | D | |
| For this is someone, yes | someone's last | day |
| When I think of this world, that is so full of sin |
| The Saviour still calls, but you won't Listen |
| You might be the one, who will pass away |
| For today will be someone, yes someone's last day |
| It could be some mother, who's leaving today |
| Her children and kin, have wandered away |
| So write her your love, my brother, I pray |
| It might be your mother, yes mother's last day |
| CHORUS |
