FLOWERS FOR MAMA

GEORGE JONES

INTRO E B E 


(E) PAPA BROUGHT FLOWERS FOR (A) MAMA (E) TODAY

AND ALL THE GROWN CHILDREN, BUT ITS NOT (B) MOTHERS DAY

(E) I DONT HAVE NO MONEY NOT (A) EVEN A (E) DIME

BUT I BROUGHT MAMA FLOWERS LIKE I (B) HAVE ALL THE (E) TIME


(E) EVERYDAY I PICK FLOWERS FROM THIS (A) PRETTY (E) HILL

A SMALL BOX OF DAISY'S AND A FEW (B) DAPHIDILLES

(E) I BRING THEM TO MAMA AT THE (A) END OF THE (E) DAY

AND SAY FLOWERS TO MAMA, HERES (B) MAMA (E) BOUQUET


(E) THEY BRIGHTEN HER FACE AND SHE (A) HOLDS ME (E) CLOSE

SHE'D SAY THEY ARE MORE PRECIOIUS THEN A (B) BEAUTIFUL ROSE

(E) AND SHE WORE A SMILE SWEETER THAN (A) MILLIONS OF (E) FLOWERS

A SMILE THAT ILL CARRY THROUGH (B) LIFES DARKEST (E) HOUR


SPOKEN: PLAY VERSE

NOW MAMA WAS LYING THERE, YES THEY TELL ME SHE HAD PAST AWAY

AND SHE WAS SURRONDED BY FLOWERS THAT OUTSHINED MY BOUQUET

I KNOW MINE ARENT FANCY BUT STILL ALL THE WHILE

THEY WERE PLACED IN HER HAND AND I KNOW I SAW MAMA SMILE


(E) FLOWERS FOR MAMA I PICKED (A) THEM (E) TODAY

NOT VERY MUCH JUST A SIMPLE (B) BOUQUET 

(E) MOM WASN'T SO FANCY BUT (A) UP THERE (E) ABOVE

SHES THE PRETTIEST FLOWER IN GODS (B) GARDEN OF (E) LOVE
