the world is at its best.
With it's cam an stately bearin, in his
gorg'us beauty dress'd.
True, the fiower-scents are scar'cer
than i'm leafy days er June.
An the bird songs amt as plenty as
some summer afternoon;
But they's somethin in the silence
with your better nature chimes
Like the Lord was somewhat closer
then than at all other times.
An you walk about the woodlands full
er memories an dreams.
While the hickory nuts are fallin' with
a spatter in the streams.
Roamin by the hazy pastures whar' the
sagegrass spreads away
Like a muddy inland river er a slowly
wavin' bay,
You can mighty nigh see faces that
have long been hid from view.
'And the skies er old-time Apriles in the
jaybird's coat er blue.
While the whistle er the partridge
brings yer boyhood back again.
When YOU romped along the byways
minus care an much er pain;
An you half wush life had faded with
the glad old boyhood dreams
When the hickory nuts are fallin' with
a spatter in the streams.
