Cover Mama's Flowers Lyrics

It's been many years now since mom passed away But there's lots of sweet mem'ries that I have today And when I see autumn and leaves turning brown I feel like mama is somewhere around Don't forget to cover my flowers I still hear my sweet mother say Be sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither away
Yes I remember though it's been so long My heart feels so heavy and life seems so wrong I'd give all my treasures and things I might own To go back to mama's old country home [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/cover-mamas-flowers-lyrics-mel-tillis.html ] Don't forget to cover... [ fiddle - steel ]As I wait in this jungle in this foreign land of people so indifferent to God and to men It's kill or be killed and I wonder today If the ones that I'm fighting thinks of mama this way Don't forget to cover... Be sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither away
