The old girls-the old girls, beneath the
mistletoe,
We kissed em when twas Christmas, just
forty years ago.
When the roses sweet Of youth-tlme famed
crimson Ger the snow
Oh, we've had our Merry Christmas in the
mornin!
The old girls-the old grls!-in dreams
they hover nigh;
But winters on the heart now, and Mem
ory is a sigh
And Time has left US lonely-Goodby!
Goodbye Goodby!
Oh, we've had our Merry Christmas in the
morning!
