Yes,
as far as I can remember
She'll re main the rose of my heart
Mom took sick along in December,
February brought us broken hearts
The reason we've not called
a family reunion,
I knew that you would not be there
Since I've thought it over, momma,
I know that your spirit is there
Oh no, you can't forget the hour
You're the only one, momma
And you're sweeter than the flowers
Oh no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now,
what only hurt father
Oh mama, we'll never forget you
and someday we'll meet you up there
It was so good to see us together
But I had to look after Dad
Oh, Mama, when I passed by your coffin
I didn't want to remember you dead
We all gathered round,
I stared at their faces
Their heads were bowed mighty low
That was the time we all had to face it
Though it hurt us so bad, you know
Oh no, can't forget the hour
You're the only one, mama,
and you're sweeter than the flowers
Oh no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now
would only hurt father
Oh, Mama, we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
