Mama do you remember

The old straw hat you gave to me

I lost the hat long ago

Flew to the foggy canyon yeh

Mama I wonder

What happened to that old straw hat

Falling down the mountain side

Out of my reach like your heart

Suddenly the wind came up

Stealing my hat from me ah

Swirling whirling gusts of wind

Blowing it higher away

Mama that old straw hat

Was the only one I really loved

But we lost it

No one could bring it back

Like the life you gave me

Suddenly the wind came up

Stealing my hat from me

Swirling whirling gusts of wind

Blowing it higher away

Mama that old straw hat

Was the only one I really loved

But we lost it

No one could bring it back

Like the life you gave me

Like the life you gave me
