Don't Step On Mother's Roses Lyrics - The Magnificent Johnny Cash - Johnny Cash

We all were called to come back 

To the old home on the farm 

Mother's passed away, what a mournful day 

And as my daddy watched 

His eyes were filled with pain and hurt 

When someone stepped upon a rose 

And crushed it in the dirt 

"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 smilin' face 

She made my darkest days look bright 

'Round the old home place"

"Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow 

The way they did since many years ago 

They'll bloom for me each year 

And I'll have Mother near 

Don't step on Mother's roses, let 'em grow" 

Years have passed away 

And how the old home place has changed 

Daddy had to go, we all miss him so 

Children pick the roses as they go along the way 

But when their petals are abused, I hear my daddy say 

"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 smilin' face 

She made my darkest days look bright 

'Round the old home place"
