Version 1[Verse 1] D G We all were called to come back D To the old home on the farm A D Mother's passed away, what a mournful day D G And as my daddy watched D His eyes were filled with pain and hurt E7 When someone stepped upon a rose A And crushed it in the dirt [Chorus] D G D Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried A D D7 She planted them the day she was my bride G D And every time I see a rose, I see her smiling face E7 She made my darkest days look bright A A7 Around the old home place D G D Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow A D D7 The way they did since many years ago G They will bloom for me each year D And I will have Mother near E7 A D Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow [Verse 2] D G Years have passed away D And how the old home place has changed A D Daddy had to go, we all miss him so A G D Children pick the roses as they go along the way E7 A A7 But when their petals are abused I hear my daddy say [Chorus] D G D Don't step on Mother's roses, Daddy cried A D D7 She planted them the day she was my bride G D And every time I see a rose, I see her smiling face E7 She made my darkest days look bright A A7 Around the old home place D G D Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow A D D7 The way they did since many years ago G They will bloom for me each year D And I will have Mother near E7 A D G D Don't step on Mother's roses, let them grow
