I recall the time you took me on a fishing trip, and I said daddy, won't the hook hurt the fishes lip and daddy if they don't get air those things in the will die, so we turned the wormsloose and chased some butterflies" etc....

RIVER OF MEMORY

There's an old ram-shackled shack where in dreams I wandered back
And we listened to those southern melodies
Was a place where I was born on a bright October morn
And it's nestled at the end of my river of memory

Did you ever go sailing down the river of memory
To a little log cabin that's nestled among the sycamore trees
Where the sunshine is cheery and nothing in the world grows weary
As my cabin at the end of my river of memory

There's a mother old and gray at the end of memory's way
And I'll meet her there tonight among the trees
And with her welcome she so sweetly beckons me
To my cabin at the end of my river of memory

* Refrain

When twilight shadows fall, many childhood voices call
Calling back to the good old days that used to be
And in answer to their prayers, I'll soon be sailing there
To my cabin at the end of my river of memory

* Refrain

(Recorded by Ricky Skaggs on the "Family & Friends" album - he claims it's traditional)

Afbert E. Brumley? Wow!! That's absolutely correct, but I never would have found it. Here are the lyrics, from The Best of Albert E. Brumley (1966, Albert E. Brumley & Sons) - http://www.brumleymusic.com/

DID YOU EVER GO SAILIN'?
[Down the River of Memories]
(Albert E. Brumley)

There's an old ramshackle shack where in dreams I wander back
And listen to those Southern melodies
'Twas the place where I was born on a bright October morn
And it's nestled at the end of my river of memories

CHORUS:
Did you ever go sailin' down the river of memories
To a little log cabin that is nestled among the sycamore trees
Where the sunshine is cheery and nothing in the world grows dreary
That's the cabin at the end of my river of memories

There's a mother old and grey at the end of memory's way
I will meet her there tonight among the trees
With a smile of welcome she so sweetly beckons me
To that cabin at the end of my river of memories
CHORUS

When the twilight shadows fall many childhood voices call
Call me back again to days that used to be
And in answer to their pray'r I will soon be sailin' there
To that cabin at the end of my river of memories
CHORUS

Sounds like Ricky might be needing to pay some royalties...

Just for the heck of it, I sent an e-mail to the Skaggs Website, and told them what we found out about the song.

Amos, Joe said he e mailed the Skaggs web site, not the requester.

Actually, I came up with the information in three segments, so I e-mailed the requestor three times
- and the Skaggs site once.
