You Are My Flower
by A.P. Carter
"I wrote the
music to this song myself. Sara Carter and I found some
words in a pamphlet with the words, 'you are my flower.'
We changed some of the words and fixed a tune to it. It
was a good song for us."
—Mother Maybelle Carter, of the original Carter Family
You Are My Flower
When summertime is gone and snow begins to fall
You can sing this song and say to one and all
You are my flower that's blooming in the mountains so
high
You are my flower that's blooming there for me.
So wear a happy smile and life will be worthwhile
Forget the tears and don't forget to smile
You are my flower that's blooming in the mountain so
high
You are my flower that's blooming there for me.
