Tom: A A D A Just as far as I can remember E A She'll remain the rose of my heart A D A Mum fell sick along in December E A February brought us broken hearts The reason we've not called a family reunion We knew that she wouldn't be there But now that we've thought it all over Mama We know you're spirit is here D A No, no, I can't forget the hours you’re the dearest one mum D E And sweeter than the flowers D A Oh no there's no use to bother To speak of you now D E would only hurt Father D A Oh no momma we'll never forget you D E A And someday we'll meet you up there We all gathered round and I stared at their faces All heads were bowed mighty low But this was one time we all had to face it Though it hurt us so badly you know Well it felt so good for us to be together But I had to look after dad Oh no Mother when I passed by your casket I didn't want to remember you dead Oh no I can't forget the hours your the only one Momma And sweeter than the flowers Oh no there's no use to bother To speak of you now would only hurt Father Oh no momma we'll never forget you And someday we'll meet you up there
