John Mayall - Memories lyrics
rate meWhen I was a boy of eleven years I never saw my pa<br />
Never understood what divorces were I hadn't grown that far<br />
Loading our belongings on a little horse and cart<br />
Mama said that she and daddy were now apart<br />
<br />
These are the things I still remember from so long ago<br />
<br />
Going to the seaside once a year, castles in the sand<br />
Going to the fairground with my pennies counted in my hand<br />
Going to the circus crying if I saw a clown<br />
Walking on my six foot stilts and never falling down<br />
<br />
These are the things I still remember from so long ago<br />
<br />
Yelling at my brother, he's in hiding, won't play in the snow<br />
Everything I do he just won't follow, doesn't want to go<br />
Playing in the fields pretending I'm a Buccaneer<br />
Threw a sword, accidentally hit him in the ear<br />
<br />
These are the things I still remember from so long ago<br />
<br />
Playing up the garden always building huts of turf and mud<br />
Playing in the woods when an owl attacked me, mopped away the blood<br />
Blowing up a rubber boat and patching up the holes<br />
Falling in the water, dripping wet and catching colds<br />
<br />
These are the things I still remember from so long ago
