A Black And White Memory Lyrics by Mel McDaniel

Mello

1978

A one-eyed ragdoll, a bashful smile
A long time back
A camera clicked in Tulsa
I wish that I had known ya then
Tell me do you recall
The color of that dress
Is that the shadow of your mom or your dad
As they told you to say cheese
More than a picture
A black and white memory
A little cowboy sits upon a pony they took door to door in Waco
I remember how I got that smile
The man said I looked just like Lash LaRue
And that old dog sittin' by my foot
Well he lived to be fifteen
More than a picture
A black and white memory
The photographs are on the rug
And here I am in Tennessee with you
The bashful girl got married to the little boy who looked like Lash LaRue
Now they're smilin' up at me and you
A one-eyed ragdoll, a bashful smile
A long time back
A camera clicked in Tulsa
