Roses for Mama is the fifth album by country musician C. W. McCall, released on Polydor Records in 1977 (see 1977 in music). The album saw McCall singing several songs that were written by others, as opposed to his previous albums, which were written entirely by him and Chip Davis. In fact, only three songs were written by the McCall and Davis; these are "I Don't Know (and I Don't Care)", "The Gallopin' Goose" and "Old Glory". "The Battle of New Orleans" is a cover version of Johnny Horton's popular 1959 song.
