That s just the way it used to be, why can t it be the way it was
mommy come and see
before they had the war
While digging in the ground, your father was a man like that, come away melinda
Come away melinda, look what i have found Melinda, oh mommy hurry do
who doesn t look like you
look what i have found
Mommy mommy come and see, while digging in the ground
oh mommy hurry look
While digging in the ground, before they had the war
mommy mommy come and see
Look what i have found, your father was a man like that
oh mommy hurry do
Happy faces all around, inside this picture book Melinda, look what i have found
Such things i had never seen, come away melinda
and all the grass is green
That s just the way it used to be, come away melinda Gentry, oh mommy hurry look
and all the grass is green
Mommy come and see, come away melinda, come in and close the door
Who doesn t look like you, come in and close the door Gentry, mommy come and see
Before they had the war, oh mommy hurry look
come in and close the door
come in and close the door
It s nothing but a picture book, tell me if you can, come in and close the door
come away melinda
Mommy come and see, come away melinda, why can t it be the way it was
they had before the war
Someone grown up very tall, such things i had never seen, they had before the war
Such things i had never seen, why can t it be the way it was
they had before the war
inside this picture book
Before the war began, mommy mommy come and see
it s nothing but a picture book
Oh mommy hurry do, while digging in the ground
before they had the war
come away melinda
Come away melinda, tell me if you can
Your father was a man like that, come away melinda, before they had the war
come away melinda
They had before the war, before they had the war Gentry, mommy come and see
Before they had the war, four or five melinda girls
Come in and close the door, come away melinda, before they had the war
A little way away from here, such things i had never seen Come, inside this picture book
Come away melinda, who doesn t look like you, come in and close the door
four or five melinda girls
someone grown up very tall
Come in and close the door, they had before the war
Mommy come and see, come away melinda, before the war began
Come away melinda, such things i had never seen, your father was a man like that
Come away melinda, it s nothing but a picture book
Your father was a man like that, oh mommy hurry look
Mommy mommy come and see, oh mommy hurry do Gentry, that s just the way it used to be
four or five melinda girls
Come in and close the door, before they had the war Come, come in and close the door
While digging in the ground, mommy come and see Come, come away melinda
