A Daisy for Mama Lyrics

I was buying some flowers on a moring in may
when a small child came by and this she did say
can you spare me a little thats all that i ask
just a little is all that i need
a little is all that i need
well i nelt down beside her and held out the flowers
and told her to chose any one
there were bright yellow roses and sweet violets
but a daisy is all that she chose
a daisy is all that she chose.

When i asked her, her name and if she could explaine
why a daisy was all that she wanted
the tears filled her eyes and she started to cry
she said a daisy reminds me of mama,
a daisy reminds me of mama.
Mama said heaven has streets that are golden
and sweet angels singing dressed in white,
so you see this small daisy reminds me of mama
for mama's in heaven to night
....music.....

Mama said heaven has streets that are golden
and sweet angels singing dressed in white,
so you see this small daisy reminds me of mama
for mama's in heaven to night
my mamas sleeping in heaven to night.
