Verse One
Here's a tape for you to play,
while I can still fog a mirror.
You can play it again and again,
when I am no longer here.
They're just little ditties,
Just me and my banjo.
They're all here for 'ya,
little stories you should know.
Verse Two
There's a song about my mom and dad.
God rest their souls.
Songs of Illinois,
where we made our home.
There's songs that make me cry,
when I hear the melo-(D )-dy.
And I saved them for 'ya,
on this tape of memo- -ries.
Verse Three
God gave me many things.
He's blessed me all my life.
So when the angels call me,
well it will be all right.
So when you get the urge,
and you find the time.
Play a little tune or two,
when grandpa's on your mind.
Just play a little tune or two,
when I'm on your mind.
