Don't Step on Mother's Roses - Mono Version
We all were called to come back
To the old home on the farm
Mother's passed away, what a mournful day
And as my daddy watched
His eyes were filled with pain and hurt
When someone stepped upon a rose
And crushed it in the dirt
Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried
She planted them the day she was my bride
And every time I see a rose, I see her smiling face
She made my darkest days look bright
Around the old home place
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
The way they did since many years ago
They will bloom for me each year
And I will have Mother near
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
Years have passed away
And how the old home place has changed
Daddy had to go, we all miss him so
Children pick the roses as they go along the way
But when their petals are abused, I hear my daddy say
Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried
She planted them the day she was my bride
And every time I see a rose, I see her smilin' face
She made my darkest days look bright
Round the old home place
Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow
The way they did since many years ago
They'll bloom for me each year
And I'll have Mother near
Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow
To the old home on the farm
Mother's passed away, what a mournful day
And as my daddy watched
His eyes were filled with pain and hurt
When someone stepped upon a rose
And crushed it in the dirt
Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried
She planted them the day she was my bride
And every time I see a rose, I see her smiling face
She made my darkest days look bright
Around the old home place
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
The way they did since many years ago
They will bloom for me each year
And I will have Mother near
Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
Years have passed away
And how the old home place has changed
Daddy had to go, we all miss him so
Children pick the roses as they go along the way
But when their petals are abused, I hear my daddy say
Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried
She planted them the day she was my bride
And every time I see a rose, I see her smilin' face
She made my darkest days look bright
Round the old home place
Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow
The way they did since many years ago
They'll bloom for me each year
And I'll have Mother near
Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow
