OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD
LOVE.
There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful
When humankind and deeds were
pure of mind,
And speech and deeds were truth
full;
Before love of sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion.
And before each dame and maid be-
Slave to the tyrant Fashion.
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake EN-.
As buxom and smart and clean of
heart
As the Lord knew how to make EN-.
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school too,
And they made such likely courtin'
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together.
When the grass was sweet to the
brown bare feet
That climbed the laughing heather,
When the pewee sang to the summe.
OF the bee In the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-
will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old
The love that mother gave us.
We are old, old men, yet We pine
again
For that precious grace-God save
So we dream and dream of the good
old times.
And our hearts grow tenderer,
fonder.
AS those dear old dreams bring
soothing CLEANS
or Heaven away off yonder
