Papa brought flowers [A] for Mama _ [E] today, _ and all the grown children, but [F#] it's not _ [B] Mother's Day. _
_ _ [E] I don't have no money, [A] not even [E] a dime, but I've 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.
_ _ _ [E] I'd 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'd brighten her face [A] and she'd hold [E] me close.
_ _ She'd say they were more precious [F#] than a [B] beautiful rose. _
[D#] _ [B] [E] And she wore a smile sweeter _ [A] than millions [E] of flowers, a smile that I'll carry [B] through
life's [E] darkest hour. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Now Mama was lying [E] there. _ _
Yes, they tell me she passed away.
_ [F#] _
And [E] she was [D#m] surrounded 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 up there [E] above, _ she's the prettiest flower in [B] God's garden [E] of love. _ _
