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