Here's another interpretation: I REMEMBER LOVING YOU (Sheb Woolley recording) I look at my old suitcase And I think of all the places that I've been, All the rail yards and the jail guards, And the dumpy little towns that I've been in; And the whispers of the people As they see me ever movin', passin' through; Yes, I remember all these things, But mostly I remember loving you. CHORUS: I remember loving you, Like no other love I knew, I've forgotten quite a few, But I remember loving you. The dingy smells of cheap hotels Are huddled in some boxcar from the rain; The flashing lights that cut the night, And the railroad bull that kicked me off the train; The wind that blows, the winter snow And freezin' in the cold until I'm blue Yes, I remember all these things, But mostly I remember loving you. CHORUS Here's a nice recording by Roy Bailey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SB25TiICwI ...and Garrison Keillor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx2gAJ89x2k (significant alterations, and Keillor attributes it to Bruce Phillips)
