Lyrics for Song: Cover Mama's Flowers
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 [Kapp] [1971]
(Johnny Gore)
It's been many years now since mom passed away
But there's lots of sweet mem'ries that I have today
And when I see autumn and leaves turning brown
I feel like mama is somewhere around.
Don't forget to cover my flowers
I still hear my sweet mama say
Be sure to cover my flowers
Or my flowers will wither away.
Yes, I remember though it's been so long
My heart feels so heavy and life seems so wrong
I'd give all my treasures and things I might own
To go back to mama's old country home.
Don't forget to cover my flowers
I still hear my sweet mama say
Be sure to cover my flowers
Or my flowers will wither away.
--- Instrumental ---
As I wait in this jungle in this foreign land
Of people so indifferent to God and to men
It's kill or be killed and I wonder today
If the ones that I'm fighting thinks of mama this way.
Don't forget to cover my flowers
I still hear my sweet mama say
Be sure to cover my flowers
Or my flowers will wither away.
Be sure to cover my flowers
Or my flowers will wither away...
