Johnny Cash - Don t Step On Mother s Roses lyrics

<b>Don't Step On Mother's Roses</b> by <i>Johnny Cash</i><br />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 crushed it in the dirt

"Don't step on Mother's roses," Daddy cried

"She planted them the day she was my bride

And every time I see a rose, I see her smilin' face

She made my darkest days look bright

'Round the old home place"

"Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em 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 'em grow"

Years have passed away

And how the old home place 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," Daddy cried

"She planted them the day she was my bride

And every time I see a rose, I see her smilin' face

She made my darkest days look bright

'Round the old home place"

"Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em 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 'em grow"
