By Tom T Hall

Capo 1
Intro: F C G C
My [C]little girl and I lost Mama [F]just three years a[C]go
And [F]now that she is [C]older there are [D7]things she wants to [G]know
She [C]said, "Please Daddy tell me 'bout my [F]mother 'cause I [C]miss her."
I [F]said, "Get pen and [C]paper and I'll [G]help your draw her [C]picture."
I [F]said, "First draw a heart so big there's [C]room for little else
Then [F]write a million for the things that [C]she denied her[G]self
[C]Draw a rose the kind of which there'll [F]never be a[C]nother
And [F]when you finish [C]you will have a [G]picture of your [C]mother
"If you want to make the picture even more complete
You could draw a little cottage, draw it nice and neat
Draw a bright and shining sun up in the sky above
But then again I guess its pretty hard to draw my love
"So draw a heart so big that there is room for little else
Write a million for the things that she denied herself
Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another
And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother."
