A Pretty Wreath for Mothers Grave Songtext
von Reno and Smiley

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


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 used to watch each day
She fixed them just before God called her s
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


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
