C Dm G7 C A7
Oh mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard
Dm E7 A7
But winter always came around and made the growing way too hard
Dm G7 C A7
Oh mama liked the roses and when she had the time
Dm E7 A7
She'd decorate the living room for all us kids to see

D7 G7 D7 G7
When I hear the Sunday bells ringing in the morning
E7 A7 D7 G7
I remember crying when she used to sing
Dm G7 C A7
Oh mama liked the roses but most of all she cared
Dm E7 A7
About the way we learned to live and if we said our prayers

Spoken:
Dm G7
You know I kept the family bible
C A7
With a rose that she saved inside
Dm E7
It was pressed between the pages
A7
Like it had found a place to hide

We bring them every mother's day and put them on her grave

Mama liked the roses mm-mm-mm
Dm G7 C
Oh mama liked the roses mm-mm-mm
