Lyrics
And moma would stop a-rockin and stories she would tell, with us youngin s gathered around her, it takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
it takes a heap of living
my mind goes back to childhood and the tears fall where i look
Drowsey little sleepy heads, lots of take and lots givin Walter, i pray the family circle will be together some day
lots of take and lots givin
With us youngin s gathered around her, now i sit and turn the pages of this old family book
i can here my mother hummin in a voice so sweet and low
Keepin time with that old rocker as she s rockin to and fro, about david and goliath and the shepard with his lands
Lots of work and lots of play and an awful lot of prayin, stories from the family bible were the ones she knowed so well
Stories from the family bible were the ones she knowed so well, i remember many years ago when i was just lad
It takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home, it takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
About david and goliath and the shepard with his lands, it takes a heap of living It, lots of work and lots of play and an awful lot of prayin
takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
Stories from the family bible were the ones she knowed so well, takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home, it seems i can see em in that faded yellow light
Takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home, about david and goliath and the shepard with his lands
it takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
instrumental
now i sit and turn the pages of this old family book
With us youngin s gathered around her, takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home It, it takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
My mind goes back to childhood and the tears fall where i look, cryin tell us another story before you put us in to bed
It takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home, moma sowin on some buttons and daddy puffin on his pipe
it takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
Lots of work and lots of play and an awful lot of prayin, instrumental Takes, it takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
Moma sowin on some buttons and daddy puffin on his pipe, lots of take and lots givin
It takes a heap of living, and moma would stop a-rockin and stories she would tell
Keepin time with that old rocker as she s rockin to and fro, it takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home
It takes a heap of living, my mind goes back to childhood and the tears fall where i look, livin in the country with my moma and my dad
It seems i can see em in that faded yellow light, it takes a heap of living
Lots of work and lots of play and an awful lot of prayin, now i sit and turn the pages of this old family book
It takes a heap of livin just to make a house a home, all the family names are listed here most of em have passed away
lots of take and lots givin
drowsey little sleepy heads
