(Hazel Dickens)

Just a few old memories
|
Slipped in through my 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
|
|
Just a few old keep-sakes
|
Way back on the shelf
|
No, they don't mean nothin'
|
Well I'm surprised they're still left
|
Just a few old love letters
|
With the edges all brown
|
And an old faded picture
|
I keep turned upside-down
|
|
Just a few old memories
|
Going way back in time
|
Well I can hardly remember
|
I don't know why I'm cryin'
|
I can't understand it
|
Well I'm surprised myself
|
First thing tomorrow morning
|
I'll clean off that shelf
|
|
Just a few old keep-sakes
|
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 their edges all brown
|
And an old faded picture
|
I keep turned upside-down
|
