But mark it down when he speaks thus
He's trying hard to stall.
For every laddie has his lassie
That is a proven fact
And if you would more proof possess,
Just watch how all men act
or course, when young they run around
And stay out late at night
But soon they meet the one they love
So far, am not right?
They can't explain what brought the change
But this they know is true:
Since meeting her life's different
And with the bunch they're through
They care more to roam around,
They've had their little fling;
And in due time the knot is tied
And sealed with wedding ring.
Love then it is whose goadng force
Keeps man and wife together;
And troubles too, though little ones,
Calm down the fercest weather.
Hope lives forever in their hearts,
They share all joy and sorrow;
The pot of gold at rainbow's end
| They'll surely reach tomorrow.
Yes, times have changed we will admit,
Yet loves the same today,
And future generations, too,
Will work and love and play.
And though we cannot yet explain
| Why on this earth we roam
| Let's hope that love will never die
| II we would save the home. H. R.
