Roses for Mama
作词：Gene Dobbins, Wayne Sharpe, Johnny Wilson
Well, I had two weeks vacation comin'
So I thought I'd drive down to Florida
Spend some time with an old friend, date a few girls
Make a few parties, and just kinda live it up again
So I packed up my car and then I called my Mom in Tennessee
And told her what I planned to do
She said, 'Son, are you comin' by?' And I said, 'Mom, I'm
Really pushed for time, but I'll see you in a week or two'
And I was drivin' through this little town in Georgia
When I remembered today's Mama's birthday
Well, I thought I'll just stop and wire some flowers
Shouldn't take too long, then I'll be on my way
So I walked in a flower shop and the first thing I saw
Was this little boy, with his eyes full a' tears
I said, 'What's wrong, son?' He said, 'Mama loves roses
And today's her birthday and I haven't seen her in almost a year'
Roses for mama
Today's her birthday
Roses for mama

Today's her birthday
He said, 'I live with Grandma now
But I promised mama some roses, 'cause I talk to her all the time
I wanted to give her five, 'cause that's how old I am
But the lady said I couldn't buy 'em with just a dime'
Well, the little fella's story kind a' touched my heart
So I told the lady to give him what he wanted and charge it to me
Then I told her I needed to wire
A dozen roses to my mama, up in Chapel Hill, Tennessee
I looked around and the little boy was gone
But all of a sudden the door flew open
And he come runnin' back in and he said
'Mister, I forgot to thank you for the roses'
He smiled, he shook my hand, and ran back out again
Well, I started on out of town
And I was feelin' real proud of myself for thinkin' of my mama
And really carin', when I looked out the window and I saw
That same little boy, kneelin', by a grave in an old cement
