Dolly Parton - Take Me Back lyrics

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
