Cover Mama's Flowers
It's been many years now since mom passed awayBut there's lots of sweet mem'ries that I have todayAnd when I see autumn and leaves turning brownI feel like mama is somewhere aroundDon't forget to cover my flowers I still hear my sweet mother sayBe sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither awayYes I remember though it's been so longMy heart feels so heavy and life seems so wrongI'd give all my treasures and things I might ownTo go back to mama's old country homeDon't forget to coverAs I wait in this jungle in this foreign land of people so indifferent to God and to menIt's kill or be killed and I wonder todayIf the ones that I'm fighting thinks of mama this wayDon't forget to coverBe sure to cover my flowers or my flowers will wither away
