recorded by George Jones and Gene Pitney [3/4 time] written by Ervin T. Rouse and Lois Mann

C
Just as far as I can remember

         G7                  C
She'll remain the rose of my heart

Mom took sick along in December

     G7                    C
February brought us broken hearts

The reason we've not called the family reunion

        G7                   C
We knew that she wouldn't be there

But since we've thought it all over mama

   G7                       C
We know that your spirit is there

F
No no I can't forget the hours

           C
You're the onliest one mom

    F
And sweeter than the flowers

No no there's no need to bother

       C                   F
It's because you now would only hurt father

C
It looks so good to see us together

      G7                C
But I had to look after dad

Oh mama when I passed by your coffin

  G7                          C
I didn't want to remember you dead

They all gathered round I stared at their faces

          G7                C
All heads were bowed mighty low

But that was one time we all had to face it

   G7                 C
It hurt us so bad you know

Repeat #2

C
Oh no momma we'll never forget you

G7 C
