Mama Sold Roses |
| Mama sold roses in the year '49 |
| They were made out of paper and sold for a dime |
| She carved out a living by walking the streets |
| Crying, who’ll buy my roses with a voice soft and sweet |
| If love was a measure of diamonds or gold |
| No one could afford the roses she sold |
| She’d shape the crape' paper and softly she’d say |
| Your mama is tired it’s been a long day |
| You’ll find her on the corner at her flower stand |
| Painted on an old sign, roses by hand |
| They’re only made of paper would you be so kind |
| Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime |
| Twenty-nine years have gone by since mom passed away |
| If you’re looking for roses they’re there on display |
| They’re not made of paper and they don’t cost a dime |
| Each rose in the window has a two dollar sign |
| You’ll find her on the corner at her flower stand |
| Painted on an old sign, roses by hand |
| They’re only made of paper would you be so kind |
| Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime |
| Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime |
