Sing A Family Song - Merle Haggard

There’s got to be some folks around

With memories just like mine

Who’d give the world to stop the clock

And turn back the hands of time

To an evenin' spent like so many spent

With mom and dad at home

When dad would get the old guitar down

And sing a family song

Sing a family song, sing a family song

When mom and me sang harmony, little sister, she hummed along

Sing a family song, oh, sing a family song

When dad would get the old guitar down and sing a family song

Now maybe at first your memories of home

Won’t resemble mine at all

But there’s one thing I know we all have in common

And that’s the God given gift to recall

Maybe your dad didn’t play no guitar

But I know that there was somethin' he did

That doesn’t make your old heart just well up and sad

When you relive your life as a kid

Sing a family song, oh, sing a family song

When mom and me sang harmony, little sister hummed along

Sing a family song, oh, sing a family song

When dad would get the old guitar down and we’d sing a family song

When dad would get the old guitar down and sing a family song
