Lyrics
It's Annie Annie Over, let's play hide and seek
Auntie Evelyn is cooking up some beans
Uncle Joe is working late again tonight
Eddie said he'd play catch with me
Our life has seen some sad times
There are memories I wish I could forget
But it's alway a treat, memories so sweet
That tiny house in Oakley on that dead-end orchard street
Go find your steely shooter, let's play marbles in the sand
Little Alice has a date on Friday night
Alfred's coming home on leave again this Saturday
I sure hop Mom and Linda are alright
Our life has seen some sad times
There are memories I wish I could forget
But it's always a treat, memories so sweet
That tiny house in Oakley on that dead-end orchard street
I still can see that red porch, the ice plant in the yard
Can you hear the train rollin' down the track
As the dusk begins to fall the lamp post comes alive
We're tuckered and it's time to hit the sack
Our life has seen some sad times
There are memories I wish I could forget
But it's always a treat, memories so sweet
That tiny house in Oakley on that dead-end orchard street
Today I learned there is a God: He wants us to be good
Don't you yell and fight like Mom and Dad
Jesus shows us how to give, what it means to love
And if we do I know that he'll be glad
Our life has seen some sad times
There are memories I wish I could forget
But it's always a treat, memories so sweet
That tiny house in Oakley on that dead-end orchard street
