Letras
Just as far as I can remember
She remained the rose of my heart
Mama took sick along in December
February brought us broke apart
The reason we've not called the family reunion
We knew she wouldn't be there
But since we thought it all over, Mama
We know that your spirit was there
Oh no, I can't forget the hour
You're the oldest one, Mama, and sweeter than the flowers
Oh no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now would only hurt Father
Oh no, Mama, we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
It looked 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
They all gathered around, I stared at their faces
All heads were bowed mighty low
But that was one time we all had to face it
Though it hurt us so bad, you know
Oh no, I can't forget the hour
You're the oldest one, Mama, and sweeter than the flowers
Oh no, there's no need to bother
To speak of you now would only hurt Father
Oh no, Mama, we'll never forget you
And someday we'll meet you up there
