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
