Lyrics

[00:08.83] 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
