"Roses for Mama" is a song recorded by both country music artists Red Sovine and C. W. McCall, and was a top 5 hit for McCall in 1977. The song was also covered, in German, by Austrian singer Jonny Hill in 1979. One of McCall's numerous recitations released during the 1970s, "Roses for Mama" differed from his usual novelty-style tales. Instead, this song focuses on a traveller's kind-hearted actions toward a motherless boy.
