Red Rose
i will take a red rose to the graveyard tonight
i will place it by mama and fill it with light
then in the morning if its not there to see
i,ll know that mama spent the evening with me
she,ll take that red rose clenched in her hand
she,ll take it with her on up to gods land
then when the master says why did you go home
she,ll say this is the first year that mamas been gone
this is the first year that mamas been gone
dad and the children are left all alone
the lord said now mama i can see your plight
go with my blessings to get your red rose tonight
