Sing a Family Song by Merle Haggard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 evening spent like so many spent
With Mom and Dad at home
When Dad would get the old guitar down
And sing a family song

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Now maybe at first, your memories of home
Won't resemble mine at all
But there's one thing that 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 something he did
That just makes your old heart just well up inside
When you relive your life as a kid
[Chorus]
Sing a family song, 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 sing a family song
When Dad would get the old guitar down
And sing a family song
