[Verse]
C                 Dm     G7                   C     Am
Oh mama liked the roses  she grew them in the yard

                  Dm           E7           Am
But winter always came around  and made the growing way too hard

                  Dm     G7                   C     Am
Oh mama liked the roses  and when she had the time

               Dm               E7                 Am
She'd decorate the living room  for all us kids to see

                D7            G7             D7       G7
When I hear the Sunday bells  ringing in the morning

           E7      Am               D7   G7
I remember crying  when she used to sing

                  Dm     G7                  C     Am
Oh mama liked the roses  but most of all she cared

                 Dm               E7                 Am
About the way we learned to live  and if we said our prayers
[Spoken]
Dm       G7
You know I kept the family bible 

C                          Am
With a rose that she saved inside

Dm                         E7
It was pressed between the pages

     Am
Like it had found a place to hide
[Verse]
        Dm               G7                C    Am
Oh mama liked the roses  in such a special way

                    Dm            E7           Am
We bring them every mother's day  and put them on her grave

                  Dm     G7    C   Am
Oh mama liked the roses  mm-mm-mm

               Dm     G7    C   Am
Mama liked the roses  mm-mm-mm

                  Dm     G7    C
Oh mama liked the roses  mm-mm-mm
