the nelons - my mama's roses lyrics

i remember well
that old cabin in the hollow
where in childhood i used to play
no brass on the door
no rugs on the floor
but love came to visit every day
i remember one springtime
mama planted a garden
and in the center, she placed a rose
nothing’s standing today
time has burned it away
but my mama’s roses still grow

my mama’s roses
still grow on the hillside
where the old homeplace used to stand
they’re a constant reminder
that mama still lives
with jesus in that heavenly land

i can remember
that old country graveyard
where they laid my mama away
the sweet smell of clover
and i will never get over
the words that the preacher had to say
children, don’t be grieving
for your mama’s not leaving
she’s just taking a well+deserved rest
for the grave has no victory
when you’re sleeping in jesus
and your mama’s enjoying heaven’s best
my mama’s roses
still grow on the hillside
where the old homeplace used to stand
they’re a constant reminder
that mama still lives
with jesus in that heavenly land

they’re a constant reminder
that mama still lives
with jesus in that heavenly land
with jesus in that heavenly land
