Ol' What's Her Name
Wynn Stewart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There've been lots of Flosie Mae's and Mary Jane's
But there's one that stands out above the others
Oh I'll never forget ol' what's her name
Time can never drive her from my memory
No one else could ever mean so much to me
And ever since she went away my life ain't been the same
[ guitar ]
When my old friends ask me what happened to her
I just smile and say I forgot her name
But deep inside I know they can't feel the pain
And I'll never forget ol' what's her name
Time can never drive her from my memory...

Time can never drive her from my memory
No matter how much time passes, I will always remember her
There've been lots of Flosie Mae's and Mary Jane's
I've met many women with common names like Flosie Mae and Mary Jane
But there's one that stands out above the others
But there was one woman who was unique and special to me
Oh I'll never forget ol' what's her name
Even though I can't remember her name, I will always remember her
No one else could ever mean so much to me
She was the only one who had such a big impact on my life
And ever since she went away my life ain't been the same
My life has been different and worse since she left
When my old friends ask me what happened to her
When my friends ask me where she went
I just smile and say I forgot her name
I pretend I don't remember her name, but I really do
But deep inside I know they can't feel the pain
I know my friends don't understand how much I miss her

The Malpass Brothers do this well. I was in a band with my late cousin Jack Zylks. He would always sing this. Thanks for the memories, Jack.

Nobody comments on this great oldie? Hell I guess there's no one left alive as old as me.
