Capo 1
C F C
Mama sold roses in the year '49
C G
They were made out of paper and sold for a dime
C F C
She carved out a living by walking the streets
C G C
Crying, who'll buy my roses with a voice soft and sweet
If love was a measure of diamonds or gold
No one could afford the roses she sold
She'd shape the crape' paper and softly she'd say
Your mama is tired it's been a long day
Chorus:
G F C
You'll find her on the corner at her flower stand
F C G
Painted on an old sign, roses by hand
G F C
They're only made of paper would you be so kind
F C G C
Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime
Twenty-nine years have gone by since mom passed away
If you're looking for roses they're there on display
They're not made of paper and they don't cost a dime
Each rose in the window has a two dollar sign
Chorus
Buy one for the lady they only cost a dime
