It’s been many years now since mom passed away
D7

But there’s lots of sweet memories that I have today
C

C
And when I see autumn and leaves turning brown
G7

I feel like mama is somewhere around
F

Don’t forget to cover my flowers
G7

I still hear my sweet mama say
F
C
Be sure to cover my flowers
G7

Or my flowers will wither away
F

Yes I remember though it’s been so long
D7

My heart feels so heavy and life seems so wrong
C

I’d give all my treasures and things I might own

To go back to mama’s old country home
F

Don’t forget to cover my flowers
G7

I still hear my sweet mama say
F

Be sure to cover my flowers
G7

Or my flowers will wither away
F

As I wait in this jungle in this foreign land
D7
G7
Of people so indifferent to God and to man
C

It’s kill or be killed and I wonder today
G7
C
If the ones that I’m fighting thinks of mama this way
F

Don’t forget to cover my flowers
G7

I still hear my sweet mama say
F

Be sure to cover my flowers
G7

Or my flowers will wither away
F

Be sure to cover my flowers
