Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard |
| [00:19.52] |
But Winter always came around and made the growing way too hard |
| [00:28.75] |
Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time |
| [00:38.74] |
She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see |
| [00:49.76] |
When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning |
| [00:59.94] |
I remember crying when she used to sing |
| [01:08.90] |
Oh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared |
| [01:19.54] |
About the way we learned to live |
| [01:24.64] |
And if we said our prayers |
| [01:32.79] |
You know I kept the family bible |
| [01:37.76] |
With a rose that she saved inside |
| [01:42.50] |
It was pressed between the pages |
| [01:46.05] |
Like it had found a place to hide |
| [01:48.99] |
Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way |
| [01:59.45] |
We bring them every Mother's Day |
| [02:04.17] |
And put them on her grave |
| [02:09.05] |
Oh, mama liked the roses Mmmm |
| [02:19.51] |
Mama liked the roses Mmmm |
| [02:29.38] |
Oh, mama liked the roses |
