Some Things I Want To Sing About Lyrics

Some Things I Want To Sing About lyrics

I can still see mama stooped around those cotton stalks.

If she picked
one, she picked a hundred bales.

Me and all my brothers would take turn
about,

Dragging mama's sack up to the scales.

While  little baby
sister slept in  peaceful sleep.

Mama laid her in the trailer shade.

Daddy was in Danville working for the railroad.

When he was coming home
we couldn't wait

.

These are just some things I want to sing
about

Memories I can't live without.

Diamonds buried deep down in
my mind.

Thoughts I can't quit thinking,

A fountain I'll keep
drinking from,

And a taste that's gettin' sweeter all the time.



[ Break]

I remember thinking town was where Grandmother's
lived.

Where brothers went to catch a bus or train.

 A treasured
thought was daddy grinnin' ear to ear

Every time we'd hear the old Chuck
Wagon Gang.

Among the many things I can't forget about,

Was seeing
mama bowed in silent prayer.

I turned and left her slowly, without her
ever knowing

There was ever anybody there.
