Mama Liked The Roses
(Words & music by J. Christopher)

Oh, mama liked the roses
She grew them in the yard
But Winter always came around
and made the growing way too hard

Oh, mama liked the roses
And when she had the time
She'd decorate the living room,
for all us kids to see

When I hear the Sunday bells
Ringing in the morning
I remember crying
When she used to sing

Oh, mama liked the roses
But most of all she cared
About the way we learned to live
And if we said our prayers

You know I kept the family bible
With a rose that she saved inside
It was pressed between the pages
Like it had found a place to hide

Oh, mama liked the roses
In such a special way
We bring them every Mother's Day
And put them on her grave
Oh, mama liked the roses Mmmm
Mama liked the roses

Elvis' mother died in 1958, at the time when Elvis
was at the start of his career. When Elvis got the
news of her death,he rushed to the hospital where
she had been on observation for hepatitis. No one!
No relatives, friends or Elvis' father - could come
through the condition of a total riot of minds that
Elvis had at this time.



At the burial Elvis let go of a tidalwave of sorrow.
Funeral guests had never experienced this kind of
physical grief at a burial. With the death of his mother,
Elvis went into a state of profound shock from which he
would never fully emerge. To say Elvis was devastated,
is the understatement of this century!!
