DOWN ON HI FARM.
When o boy I used 10 dwell

When o boy I used TO dwell
In q home I loved so we'll,
Far awcy among the clover and the bees,
Where the morning glory vine
Round the cabin porch did Irvine,
And the robin redbreast sang among the trees
There were brothers young and gay,
A father old and gray,
And o mother dear to keep us from all harm;
There I passed LIES golden hours,
Running wild among the flowers,
In my boyhood's happy home, down on the
farm.
Chorus:
Many weary hours have passed
Since I saw the old place last,
But memory still steals DER me like o charm,
Every old familiar place,
Every kind and loving face,
In my boyhood's happy home, down on tho
farm.
And Today as I draw near
The old home I loved so dear,
A strangcr comes TO meet me at the door.
Round the place there's many q change
And the faces all seem strange
Not o loved one now to greet me rs Of yore.
My mother dear is laid
Meath tho elm trees pleasant shade,
And the golden summer sun shines bright and
warm;
In the old familiar place
lean see q strangers face,
IN my fathers old arm. chair, down on the
farm.
Chorus:
Many weary years have passed
Since I saw the OLD place last
But memory still steals DER me like o charm;
Every old familiar place,
Every kind and loving face,
In my boyhood's happy hours, down o. the
farm.
