Oh, mama liked the roses |
| [00:14.00] |
she grew them in the yard |
| [00:19.00] |
But Winter always came around |
| [00:24.00] |
and made the growing way too hard |
| [00:28.50] |
Oh, mama liked the roses |
| [00:34.50] |
and when she had the time |
| [00:38.80] |
She'd decorate the living room, |
| [00:43.80] |
for all us kids to see |
| [00:49.50] |
When I hear the Sunday bells |
| [00:54.90] |
ringing in the morning |
| [00:59.50] |
I remember crying when she used to sing |
| [01:09.20] |
Oh, mama liked the roses |
| [01:14.60] |
but most of all she cared |
| [01:19.50] |
About the way we learned to live |
| [01:25.00] |
And if we said our prayers |
| [01:33.40] |
You know I kept the family bible |
| [01:38.00] |
With a rose that she saved inside |
| [01:43.20] |
It was pressed between the pages |
| [01:46.80] |
Like it had found a place to hide |
| [01:49.80] |
Oh, mama liked the roses |
| [01:55.50] |
in such a special way |
| [02:00.00] |
We bring them every Mother's Day |
| [02:05.50] |
And put them on her grave |
| [02:10.00] |
Oh, mama liked the roses |
| [02:16.00] |
Mmmm |
| [02:21.00] |
Mama liked the roses |
| [02:26.00] |
Mmmm |
| [02:31.00] |
Oh, mama liked the roses |
| [02:36.20] |
Mmmm |
