Flowers for Mama Lyrics by Johnny Gray

Chicago Bluegrass

0

[Verse 1]
Papa brought flowers for Mama today
And all the grown children, but it's not Mother's Day
I don't have no money, not even one dime
But I brought Mama flowers like I have all the time
[Verse 2]
Each day, I'd pick flowers from this pretty hill
A small bunch of daisies and a few daffodils
And I'd bring them to Mama at the end of the day
And say, "Flowers for Mama, here's Mama's bouquet"
[Verse 3]
It'd brighten her face and she'd hold me close
She'd say they were more precious than a beautiful rose
Mom wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers
A smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hours
[Verse 4 (Spoken)]
Yes, Mama, she was lying there
Yes, they tell me she passed away
And she was surrounded by flowers
That outshine my bouquet
Yes, I know mine aren't fancy
But still, all the while
They were placed in her hand
And I know I saw Mama smile
[Outro Verse]
Flowers for Mama, I picked them today
Not very much, just a simple bouquet
Mom wasn't so fancy, but up there above
She's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love
