sung by Tanya Tucker
Lyrics excerpt:
Thirty some odd years ago a young man came to Memphis
Askin' 'bout a rose that used to blossom in his world
People never took the time to mind the young man's questions
Until one day they heard him ask a little green eyed girl

...thanks, I haven't listened to Tanya in years.
ReplyDeleteMe, too :)
DeleteA story in the past. A story for the future.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I heard a story song. I enjoyed it.
DeleteThat's a pretty song I don't remember, even though I do remember Tanya Tucker. Now I feel old looking at how young she is here-smile. OK, that old feeling didn't last too long. Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteI think that video is from 1973. We all looked young back then ;)
DeleteA perfect Mother's Day song!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even considered that. Cool!
DeleteI have never like country music.
ReplyDeleteMe, either. There are always exceptions, though, and this one has a Memphis connection. I can't ignore that lol
DeleteA sad tale. They don't make many story songs anymore it seems. I forgot about this one.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember this one from back in the day.
DeleteI'd never heard that song before. Very thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteI was glad I came across it.
DeleteThis was lovely, I enjoyed it very much! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. Thank you :)
