Johnny Cash - Don't Step On Mother's Roses - Текст песни

We all were called to come back to the old home on the farm 

Mother's passed away what a mournful day 

And as my daddy watched his eyes were filled with pain and hurt 

When someone stepped upon a rose and crush it in the dirt 

Don't step on mother's roses daddy cried she planted them the day she was my bride 

And everytime I see a rose I see her smilin' face 

She made my darkest days look bright round the old homeplace 

Don't step on mother's roses let them grow 

The way they did since many years ago 

They'll bloom for me each year and I'll have mother near 

Don't step on mother's roses let them grow 

Years have passed away and how the old homeplace has changed 

Daddy had to go we all miss him so 

Children pick the roses as they go along the way 

But when their petals are abused I hear my daddy say 

Don't step on mother's roses...
