Boston, Denver, and New York,
But delight has never thrilled me
As it did in days of yore,
When bought stick of candy
At the little country store.
What a wealth of things to covet
Spread before my youthful eyes,
Painted toys, and cheese, and crackers,
Calicoes of gaudy dyes
Everything, from pins to plasters,
Needed on this earthly shore.
Was dispensed across the counter
OF the quaint old country store.
There it was the village fathers
Gathered to discuss the crops,
And the children's boarded pennies
Went for gum and licorice drops.
Memory brings the gray-haired owner
Clearly to my gaze once more,
Tying up the tea and sugar
In the dim old country store.
There our mothers used to weigh us
On the antiquated scales.
And the village waited weekly
The arrival of the mails.
On the wall for all to read it
Hung the slate that held the score,
But the poor were never harried
BY the good old country store.
Drugs and food authorizations
Then were tricks as yet undreamed,
And the butter and molasses
Were exactly what they seemed.
Oh! the world would be the better
And more solid at the core,
If its business was conducted
Like the dear old country store.
