Take Me Back

Take me back, oh precious memories
 To the days, forever gone
 I can still remember, Mama washin' on a washboard
 On the back porch, 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, singin' some old favorite song of hers
 And often singin' favorite songs for us
 And she was satisfied, just bein' Mama, to us children
 And the only woman, Daddy ever loved
 Take me back, to Mama's bosom
 Back to Daddy's, lovin' arms
 Take me back, oh, precious memories
 To the days, forever gone
 I can still remember, us a runnin' to meet Daddy
 In the evening, when his working 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
 And 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 bein' Daddy, to us children
 And the man, my Mama lived her whole life for
 Take me back (Take me back), to Mama's bosom
 Back to Daddy's (Back to Daddy's), lovin' arms
 Take me back, oh, precious memories
 To the days, forever gone
 Take me back (Take me back), oh, precious memories (Precious memories)
 To the days (To the days), forever gone)
