Sing A Family Song Lyrics - 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
