21 Feb 03 - 11:14 PM (#895639) Subject: Lyr Add: RIVER OF MEMORY From: Jim Dixon Lyrics copied from Motoya Kitagawa's Bluegrass Song Book RIVER OF MEMORY There's an old ramshackle 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. CHORUS: 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 At 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. CHORUS 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. CHORUS [Sung by Ricky Skaggs on "Family and Friends," (Rounder, 1981), where it's called "traditional." There are sound samples at Barnes&Noble and at Amazon.com. One web site says it's the first song Buddy Holly ever performed in public.] |
