Take me back all precious mem'ries to the days forever gone
|
I can still remember mama washin' on the washboard
|
On the backporch while us kids played in the yard
|
Mama always seemed to be so happy and content
|
She never seemed to mind that times were hard
|
She went about her work singing some old farvorite songs of hers
|
And often singing favorite songs for us
|
She was satisfied just being mama to us children
|
And the only woman daddy ever loved
|
Take me back to mama's bossom back to daddy's loving arms
|
Take me back all precious mem'ries to the days forever gone
|
|
I can still remember us a runnin' to meet daddy
|
In the evening when his workin' day was done
|
When daddy saw us comin' he would bend his tired old back
|
Holdin' out his arms and into them we'd run
|
He'd hold us for a minute we'd all walk home together
|
While mama waited for him at the door
|
And he was satisfied just being daddy to us children
|
And the man my mama lived the whole life for
|
Take me back to mama's bossom...
|
Take me back all precious mem'ries to the days forever gone
|
