C.W. McCall lyrics Roses For Mama lyrics (Johnny Wilson, Gene Dobbins, Wayne Sharpe) [Spoken] Well, I had two weeks vacation comin', so I thought I'd drive down to Florida: spend some time with an old friend, date a few girls, make a few parties, and just kinda live it up again. So I packed up my car, and then I called my Mom in Tennesee, and told her what I planned to do. She said, ";Son, are you comin' by?"; And I said, ";Mom, I'm really pushed for time, but I'll see you in a week or two."; And I was drivin' through this little town in Georgia when I remembered: today's Mama's birthday. Well, I thought I'll just stop and wire some flowers. Shouldn't take too long; then I'll be on my way. So I walked in a flower shop and the first thing I saw was this little boy, with his eyes full a' tears. I said, ";What's wrong, son?"; He said, ";Mama loves roses. And today's her birthday, and I haven't seen her in almost a year."; [Chorus] Roses for Mama Today's her birthday Roses for Mama Today's her birthday He said, ";I live with Grandma now. But I promised Mama some roses, 'cause I talk to her all the time. I wanted to give her five, 'cause that's how old I am. But the lady said I couldn't buy 'em with just a dime."; Well, the little fella's story kind a' touched my heart, so I told the lady to give him what he wanted and charge it to me. Then I told her I needed to wire a dozen roses to my Mama, up in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. I looked around, and the little boy was gone. But all of a sudden the door flew open and he come runnin' back in and he said, ";Mister, I forgot to thank you for the roses."; He smiled, he shook my hand, and ran back out again. Well, I started on out of town. And I was feelin' real proud of myself for thinkin' of my Mama and really carin', when I looked out the window and I saw that same little boy, kneelin', by a grave in an old cemetery. I stopped my car and walked over to where the little boy was kneelin' down. And he smiled up at me and said, ";This is where my Mama stays. She says she sure does thank you for these pretty roses."; Well that's when I had to walk away. And I drove straight back to that flower shop and I said, ";Lady, have you sent those flowers to Tennessee?"; She said, ";No, not yet."; I said, ";Well, nevermind. I'll just take them back with me."; [Chorus] Roses for Mama Today's her birthday Roses for Mama Today's her birthday Other C.W.
