Old Forgotten Trails

Bob Nolan
Original copyright: February 8, 1945

Old forgotten trails
I still remember from the past.
I hear the voices of the pals that we once knew.
Old forgotten trails,
I hear them calling - for they pass.
Forget them not, old trails, for they remember you.

Though their footprints lead in silence somewhere,
You alone know where to find them somewhere.
Someday I know I’ll go where you go - Somewhere
I’ll meet them there and we will ride together
Old forgotten trails.

This Bob Nolan piece, registered for copyright February 8, 1945, was never commercially recorded although it was included in the Sons of the Pioneers' radio transcriptions. As with “Remember Me,” this was a song Bob particularly loved and hoped would catch on with the public.

Robert Wagoner recorded the song in 2003 and included it on his CD "Call of the Far Away Hills" which is still available.

American Music, Inc. produced the sheet music in 1945.
