I got this request and was wondering if anyone would know the title, artist and the rest of the lyrics?

I have been looking for an old song I use to listen to as a kid and I can't remember what the name or artist is. I do remember a few lyrics. They lyrics: "Mamma why did God take Him from me..I was good just like he said to be.." I know it was sung by a woman..and I remember the song having a talking part..it said something about.."Come here honey and sit on my lap..God looks down from heaven and picks the pretties flowers..etc." Thank you so much!

Well, it does not come up here on a search of [prettiest flowers]....

Can you remember any other phrases?

MAMA WHY

[ with Ernest Ray]

(Oh mama why did God take my daddy cause I'd been good just like he said to be
I heard daddy pray dear Lord don't take me from them Oh mama why did God take him from me)
Come here son you've asked mama somethin' that's even hard for me to understand
For there's one thing I do know

Daddy wouldn't gonna see those tears in the eyes of this big man
So stop cryin' now and listen real careful to every word mama has to say
You see son God picks the sweetest most beautiful flowers that grow
And he makes them the brightest shiniest stars that glow

Now daddy talk with the Lord every day and daddy and God'll be real close
So let's just say it seems that God takes the ones he loves the most
(Oh mama why did God take my daddy)

Son you haven't heard a word that mama said
So come on now let's say your prayers and mama tuck you in bed
And we must have questioned God cause he already has everything planned
And honey daddy can't ever come back to us though we can go to him
(Oh mama why did God take him from me

It might be the lyrics. I will check with the lady who asked me to find them.

Thanks, Cookie
