OLD HOME WEEK SONG
Written by Mrs. Francis H Bate
Air: Aud Lang Syne"
Fair Winthrop. now thy children came
To thy dear pine-girt shores
To meet, to greet and bid welcome
As in the days of yore.
Chorus ..
For love of home and friends is dear
our LOYALTY is thine;
'Tis with US, whether far or near, :
For aud lang syne.
In bygone days. with gladstone heart
Each shared the others lot,
But though our ways now lie apaH
We still forget thee not.
Forget not ties of home and love,
Nor happy days here spent;
Forget not blessings from above
Which brought US sweet content.
Then pledge we now our love anew
Pledge it with heart and hand,
To homeland that's eXcelled by few
Fair Winthrop, mother land.
