Mel Tillis "Cover Mama's Flowers" |
(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...
