I've got a picture it's glued in a book
Of most of my family that somebody took
Grandpa died early before I could know the man
That they tell me I take after so
Though I don't remember it still makes me laugh
When I see us together in photograph

Mamma and Daddy burned hot like a flame
But it all turned to ashes with no one to blame
I can still see them but not in my mind
It's been so long that my memory's blind
Though I don't remember it still makes me laugh
When I see us together in a photograph

Well it happened last winter we had a son
And they took a picture a family round one
It's there to remind you when you can't recall
What your daddy looked like when you were so small
Though you won't remember it will still make you laugh
When you see us together in a photograph
