There's a river of ol' mem'ries On the same rock i was born Crossin' water fills a book O' them pages sadly torn The rain keeps fallin' down From my home to sweeter skies The water's singin' wonders But i dont remember why Chorus I dont remember why you came And left me all alone God help us one God help us all Where i dont belong Rockin' chair kept her eyes Shinnin' out the window Childhood passin' by Too fast for me to cry Chorus Grandmother's crown has gone to fill Grandfather's eyes with tears Miles from home she cannot face That bedsheet round her waist Chorus Chorus
