I tooked a flower to my girl,
a yellow flower to show my love
and enough petals it had
so "he loves me" would come out.


I gived my poseys to my gal
and she laughed and mussed my hair.
Said Jim done give her a rose
and me I give her pasture field flowers.


I felt real bad as I walked home,
with them flowers in my hand,
I give them to my grandma
and she hugged my neck
and told me a story.
