Someone Mentioned Your Name Lyrics
Written by Merle Haggard

Recorded by Hank Snow



C

I thought I w-as through missing you

F

I thought I was through being blue

C G7

And t-hen someone ment-ioned your n-ame

C

Some careless friend just chanced to say

F

That t-hey saw youthe other day

CG7

And t-hey said you looked just the same



C F

Then I remem-bered your armsand how they held me dear

C D7 G7

But the memory only brought me that same old empty fear

CF

Now I'm right back where I started that awful day we parted

CG7 C

And all because they men-tioned your name





I told myself the hurt was gone

F

That not onememory lingered on

C G7

And t-hen someone ment-ioned your n-ame

C

They didn't mean to tear away

F

The veil that hid my yesterday

CG7

But there it was with all the same old pain



C F

For I remem-bered your kisson the day we said goodbye

C D7 G7

Was the l-ast glowing ember of a flame that had to d-ie

CF

Now I'm right back where I started that awful day we parted

C G7C

And allbecause they men-tioned your name
