A Few Old Memories Lyrics by Hazel Dickens

A Few Old Memories

1987

[Verse 1]
Just a few old memories
Slipped in through the door
Though, I thought I had closed it
So tightly before
I can't understand it
Why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time

[Chorus]
Just a few old keepsakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well, I'm surprised that they're left
Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down

[Verse 2]
Just a few old memories
That go way back in time
Why, I can hardly remember
I don't know why I'm cryin'
I can't understand it
Why, I'm surprised at myself
First thing tomorrow morning
I'll clean off that shelf

[Chorus]
Just a few old keepsakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
I'm surprised that they're left
Just a few old love letters
With their edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
