ROSES FOR MAMA ( TODAY IS HER BIRTHDAY)
(spoken)
well I had two weeks vacation common so I thought I would drive
down to Florida spend some time with a old friend, date a few girls,
make a few partys and just kind of just live it up again.
so I packed up my car and then I called my mom in Tennessee and
I told her what I had planed to do and she said son are you common by
and I said oh mom I am really pushed for time but I will see ya in a week
or two.. and I was driven through this little town in Georgia when it hit me
today is mamas birthday.. well I thought I would just stop and wire her
some roses it shouldn't take to long then I would be on my way.
when I walked into the flower shop the first thing I seen was this
little
boy with his eyes filled with tears and I said whats the matter son
he said mama loves roses todays her birthday and I haven't seen her in almost a
year..
(chorus) roses for mama todays her birthday
roses for mama todays her birthday
he said I live with grandpa now but I promised mama some roses cause I
talk
to her all the time I wanted to give her five cause thats how old I am but the
ladie
said I couldn't buy them with just a dime..
well the little fellows storie kinda touched my heart so I told the ladie to
give him what
he wanted and charge it to me. then I said I wanted to wire a dozen roses to my
mama
in chapel hill Tennessee. I looked around and the little boy was gone and the
next
thing knew the door come flyin open and the little boy ran back in again and he
said mister I forgot to thank you for these pretty roses he grinned shook my
hand and ran
back out again ..
well I started out of town and I was feelin real proud of myself for
thinkin about my
mama and just having the feeling that I really cared when I looked out my
window and I
seen that same little boy kneeling infront of a grave in an old cemetery..
I stopped my car, got out and walked up to where the little boy was
kneeling.
he looked up smiled and said this is where my mama stays .. she said she sure
thanks
ya for the pretty roses. well thats when I had to walk away and I drove rite
back to
that flower shop and I said ladie have you sent those roses to Tennessee ,, she
said
no not yet and I said well just never mind I will just take em back with me..
repeat chorus
