Papa brought flowers [A] for Mama _ [E] today
And all the grown children, but [F#] it's not _ [B] Mother's Day _
I _ [E] don't have no money, [A] not even [E] a dime
But I brought Mama flowers like [B] I have all the [E] time _ _ _
Every day I'd pick flowers [A] from this pretty [E] _
hill
A small bunch of daisies [F#] and a few [B] _
daffodils
_ I'd [E] bring them to Mama at [A] the end of the [E] day
And say, flowers for Mama, [B] here's Mama's [E] bouquet
That _ _ _ brightened her face [A] and she'd hold [E] me close
_ _ She'd say they were more precious [F#] than a [B] beautiful rose _
[D#m] And [E] she wore a smile sweeter [A] than millions [E] of flowers
A smile that I'll carry [B] through life's [E] darkest hour
_ Now _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A]
Mama was lying [E] there, _ _ yes, they tell me she passed away
_ [F#] And _ [G#] she was surrounded [D#m] by [E] flowers that outshined my bouquet
[A] _
_ [E] I know mine aren't fancy, but still all the while
_ [B]
They were placed in her [E] hand and I know I saw Mama smile
_ [A] _ Flowers for Mama, [E] I picked them today
_ Not very much, [F#] just a simple _ [B]
bouquet
_ _ _ [E] Mom wasn't so fancy, [A] but a fair [E] above
She's the prettiest flower in [B] God's garden [E] of love _ _
