Mama Liked the Roses Lyrics

[00:08.45] Oh, mama liked the roses, she grew them in the yard
[00:19.26] But winter always came around and made the growing way too hard
[00:28.82] Oh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time
[00:39.55] She'd decorate the living room, for all us kids to see
[00:49.83] When I hear the sunday bells ringing in the morning
[01:00.02] I remember crying, when she used to sing
[01:09.04] Oh, mama liked the roses, but most of all she cared
[01:20.00] About the way we learned to live
[01:24.70] And if we said our prayers
[01:33.01] You know I kept the family bible
[01:38.02] With a rose that she saved inside
[01:42.93] It was pressed between the pages
[01:46.49] Like it had found a place to hide
[01:49.58] Oh, mama liked the roses in such a special way
[02:00.17] We bring them every Mother's Day
[02:05.25] And put them on her grave
[02:10.00] Oh, mama liked the roses
[02:15.53] Mmh-hm-hm-hm-hm
[02:20.44] Mama liked the roses
[02:25.26] Mmh-hm-hm-hm-hm
[02:29.69] Oh, mama liked the roses
[02:35.18] Mmh-hm-hm-hm-hm
[02:37.40]
