[spoken]



WellI had two weeks vacation comin'so I thought I'd drive down to florida: spend some time with an old frienddate a few girlsmake a few partiesand just kinda live it up again.



So I packed up my carand then I called my mom in tenneseeand told her what I planned to do. she said"sonare you comin' by? " and I said"momI'm really pushed for timeb

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. wellI thought I'll just stop and wire some flowers. shouldn't take too long; then I'll be on m

.



So I walked in a flower shop and the first thing I saw was this little boywith his eyes full a' tears. I said"what's wrongson? " he said"mama loves roses. and today's her b

Ayand 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

With just a dime."



Wellthe little fella's story kind a' touched my heartso 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 mamaup in chape

Ltennessee.



I looked aroundand the little boy was gone. but all of a sudden the door flew open and he come runnin' back in and he said"misterI forgot to thank you for the roses." he smiled

Ook my handand ran back out again.



WellI 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 boykneelin'by a grav

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

." well that's when I had to walk away.



And I drove straight back to that flower shop and I said"ladyhave you sent those flowers to tennessee? " she said"nonot yet." I said"wellnevermind. I'll just

Them back with me."
