Back Upon an old dirt road

was a slanted wood shack

C D Em

with three little kids and a momma



Em G

papa died in '63

A

left little jenny and me

C

to plant those 'taters and

D Em -D.....Chorus

Little brother was never quite right

A

playin with the dust

from that old gravel road

C D Em -D.....Chorusx2

and the rivers that run through my mem'ry
