Mama Liked The Roses - Elvis Presley

Oh, mama liked the roses she grew them in the yard\nBut winter always came around and made the growing way too hard\nOh, mama liked the roses and when she had the time\nShe’d decorate the living room, for all us kids to see\nWhen I hear the sunday bells ringing in the morning\nI remember crying when she used to sing\nOh, mama liked the roses but most of all she cared\nAbout the way we learned to live\nAnd if we said our prayers\nYou know I kept the family bible\nWith a rose that she saved inside\nIt was pressed between the pages\nLike it had found a place to hide\nOh, mama liked the roses in such a special way\nWe bring them every mother’s day\nAnd put them on her grave\nOh, mama liked the roses mmmm\nMama liked the roses
