A Few Gold Memories Songtext
von Dolly Parton

(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
