A Pretty Wreath For Mother's Grave
 
  
     In my memory there's a picture
     of a face so dear to me
     Loving arms that used to hold me
     as I sat on mother's knee

     No one here on earth could pay her
     for the things in life she gave
     Now she's gone but I'll remember
     a pretty wreath for mother's grave

     Chorus:
     [ She was fond of pretty flowers     ]
     [ I recall she used to say           ]
     [ When I'm gone son please remember  ]
     [ A pretty wreath for mother's grave ]

     She had a little row of flowers
     that she tended every day
     She fixed them just before God called her
     so they would not fade away

     Next year they'll bloom again in beauty
     red and blue so bright and gay
     If it's God's will I'll take them to her
     a pretty wreath for mother's grave

     Chorus

     [ So when I'm gone Lord please remember ]
