I recall the day she found it Come home with her coat wrapped round it Back when I was just a little boy Id have sworn that it was dead But it fooled me and lived instead It grew to be my mothers pride and joy Its just an old Magnolia tree But friend it means much more to me Its a symbol of my mommas tender love And of all the things in life Ive found That picked me up when I was down I remember my magnolia mothers love Oh the kinfolk come and gathered round The day we laid my momma down I swore Id try to be a better man Standing beneath her favorite tree I knew her pride and joy was me When a petal fell and nestled in my handYou might also like
