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."
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."
Roses for Mama
Today's her birthday
