Intro B
[E]We all were called to [A]come back to the [E]old home on the farm.
[B]Mother passed
away, oh what a [E]sad sad day,
And [A]as my daddy watched, his eyes were [E]filled with hurt,
When [F#]someone stepped
upon a rose and [B]pushed it in the dirt.
Chorus
Don't[E] step on mother's roses daddy
cried,
She [B]planted them the day she was my [E]bride
And [A]every time I see a rose I [E]see her smiling face
She
[F#]made my darkest days look bright,
[B]'Round the old home place.
Don't [E]step on mother's roses let them grow,
The
[B]way they did so many years a[E]go.
They'll [A]bloom for me each year and [E]I'll have mother near,
Don't [F#]step
on mother's roses let them [E]grow. [B] [E]
Years have
passed away now the old home place has changed,
Daddy had to go, we all miss him so
Children pick the roses as they
grow along the way
But when their petals are abused I hear my daddy say.
Chorus
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
smiling face
She made my darkest days look bright,
'Round the old home place.
Don't step on mother's roses let them
grow,
The way they did so 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.
