Flowers For Mama recorded by George Jones [3/4 time] written by Eddie Noack, Cindy Walker, Al Rumley
C F C Papa brought flowers for mama today D7 G7 And all the grown children but it's not mother's day C F C I don't have no money not even a dime G7 C But I brought mama flowers like I have all the time
F C Everyday I pick flowers from this pretty hill D7 G7 A small box of Daisies and a few Daffodils C F C I bring them to mama at the end of the day G7 C And say flowers for mama here's mama's bouquet
F C They brighten her face and she holds me close D7 G7 She'd say they are more precious than a beautiful rose C F C And she wore a smile sweeter than millions of flowers G7 C A smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hours
Spoken: Now mama was lying there yes they tell me she passed away And she was surrounded by flowers that out shined 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
F C Flowers for mama I picked them today D7 G7 Not very much just a simple bouquet C F C Mom wasn't so fancy but up there above G7 C She's the prettiest flower in God's garden of love.
