"Flowers for Mama" - Eddie Noack
Track 6 of 30 on the album "Ain't the Reaping Ever Done? (1962-1976)" (2015)
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Papa bought 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
Still I brought Mama flowers like I have all the time
[Verse 2]
Every day, I'd pick flowers from this pretty hill
A small bunch of daisies and a few daffodils
I'd bring them to Mama at the end of the day
And say, "Flowers for Mama, here's Mama's bouquet"
[Verse 3]
They'd brighten her face and she'd hold me close
She'd say they were more precious than a beautiful rose
And she wore a smile sweeter than billions of flowers
A smile that I'll carry through life's darkest hours
[Verse 4]
Now, Mama was lying there, they tell me she passed away
And she was surrounded by flowers that far outshine 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
[Outro Verse]
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
