Take Me Back Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Take me back, oh precious memories
To the days, forever gone

I can still remember, Mama washin′ on a washboard
On the back porch, while us kids, played in the yard
Mama always seemed to be, so happy and content
She never seemed to mind, that times were hard

She went about her work, singin' some old favorite song of hers
And often singin′ favorite songs for us
And she was satisfied, just bein' Mama, to us children
And the only woman, Daddy ever loved


Take me back, to Mama's bosom
Back to Daddy′s, lovin′ arms
Take me back, oh, precious memories
To the days, forever gone

I can still remember, us a runnin' to meet Daddy
In the evening, when his working day, was done
When Daddy saw us comin′, he would bend his tired old back
Holdin' out his arms, and into them, we′d run

And he'd hold us for a minute, we′d all walk home together
While Mama waited for him, at the door
And he was satisfied, just bein' Daddy, to us children
And the man, my Mama lived her whole life for

Take me back (Take me back), to Mama's bosom
Back to Daddy′s (Back to Daddy′s), lovin' arms
Take me back, oh, precious memories
To the days, forever gone


Take me back (Take me back), oh, precious memories (Precious memories)
To the days (To the days), forever gone)
