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 crush it in the dirt
|
Don't step on mother's roses daddy cried she planted them the day she was my bride
|
And everytime I see a rose I see her smilin' face
|
She made my darkest days look bright round the old homeplace
|
Don't step on mother's roses let them 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 them grow
|
Years have passed away and how the old homeplace 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...
