Artist/Band: George Jones
Lyrics for Song: Flowers for Mama
Lyrics for Album: 20 Gospel Greats [Teevee] [1999]



Papa brought flowers for mama today

And all the grown children, but it's not mother's day

I don't have no money, not even a dime

But I brought mama flowers like I have all the time.



Everyday I pick flowers from this pretty hill

A small box of Daisies and a few Daphidilles

I bring them to mama at the end of the day

And say flowers for mama, here's mama's bouquet.



They brighten her face and she holds me close

She'd say they are more precious than a beautiful rose

And she wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers

A smile that I'll carry through lifes darkest hours.



Spoken:

Now mama was lying there, yes, they tell me she passed away

And she was surrounded by flowers that outshined my bouquet

I know mine aren't fancy but still all the while

They were placed in her hand and I know I saw mama smile.



Sang:

Flowers for mama I picked them today

Not very much, just a simple bouquet

Mom wasn't so fancy but up there above

She's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love.
