3. Winnsboro, Louisiana
I remember Louisiana
Where my grandma used to stay
There was all them smiling faces
All that help along the way
I remember when Rose-Anna
Asked if she could kiss my face
4. Winnsboro, Louisiana
I remember Wilhelmina
Who would mind the kitchen stove
And every time that my uncle Joe
Took me to the movie show
I remember how I wondered
Why the people talked so slow
6. Winnsboro, Louisiana
I remember Bernard’s garden
Where I chased the dog all day
Crawling under that wooden frame
Where the whole world smelled like hay
I remember all those secrets
Learning what the crows had to say
7. Winnsboro, Louisiana
I remember all them poor boys
Who would fight to get a dime
But now that I’ve lived a longer time
I can see Winnsboro’s crimes
I remember, I was so young
It was easy to be blind
