Subject: She Has Forgotten From: RangerSteve Date: 04 Jan 02 - 08:37 AM I'm looking for the lyrics for this tune. The first verse is: Back to my home town I wandered one day, it seems that the old friends had drifted away, I wandered down Main St., the view to enjoy, I met a young girl that I loved as a boy. Or something like that. Anyone know the rest? |

Back to my home town I wanderd one day
Gone are the days when our hearts beat as one
I still have her picture her face sweet and fair
* Refrain |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: She Has Forgotten From: RangerSteve Date: 04 Jan 02 - 03:54 PM Sorcha, thanks. There's a verse missing - one that starts"She glanced at me calmly and calmly walked by, She didn't remember since years had gone by". Anyone know the rest of that verse? |

Subject: Lyr Add: SHE HAS FORGOTTEN From: GUEST,RJT Date: 12 Sep 04 - 11:42 PM These are the lyrics I have, from an elderly uncle who loves sing-a-longs and has them typed for such use. The original source is unknown to me. __________________ SHE HAS FORGOTTEN __________________ Back to my hometown I wandered one day. It seemed that the old gang had drifted away. I wandered down mainstreet, the view to enjoy. When I met with the girl I loved as a boy. She glanced at me calmly, and calmly walked by. She didn't recall me for years had gone by. She has forgotten the love we once knew. She has forgotten; can it be true? (Chorus) Gone are the days when our hearts beat as one, All I can say now is see what you've done. Gone are the days when we thrilled to each vow. She has forgotten everything now. I still have her picture, her face sweet and fair. And the rose that she gave me, and a lock of her hair. I treasure and keep them, it's silly I know, For she has forgotten long, long ago. Chorus __________________ I suspect that the chorus should be sung 3 times, instead of the 2 indicated, but I have no facts to back that up. In this case I am only a reporter. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: She Has Forgotten From: GUEST,RJT Date: 13 Sep 04 - 12:32 AM lists two recordings(?) of this song. "She has forgotten". Another site simply lists the existance a 1959 recording by Don Reno, Red Smiley & the Tennessee Cutups. Yet another site http://www.the-forum.com/EPHEMERA/country1.htm lists a songbook (for sale) containing this song. The songbook is titled: "Doc Hopkins and Karl and Harty of the Cumberland Ridgerunners - Mountain Ballads and Home Songs. 53 Big Hits." 1936. Published by M. M. Cole Publishing Co. of Chicago. I note that Karl Davis and Hartford (Harty?) Taylor are credited by the first web site as the authors of the song. |
