Long ago, when I was small
A
Before computers and TV
D G D
We made it with hardly anything at all
A D
How we did, is hard for me to see
G D
We had coal oil lights and heating stoves
A
Lanterns and hand pumped water wells
D G D
Stacked firewood in long, long rows
A D
It was not easy I am here to tell
G D
And when you were sick
A
The doctor came to see you
D G D
Most people couldnt get to town
A D
So the town came to you
G D
We had the huckster man every few days
A
Brought candy, coal-oil, cough syrup and shoe strings
D G D
A few farm fresh eggs paid our way
A D
So we did get some extra things
G D
Some pine for the good ole days
G A
I have lived both then and now
D G D
Considering all in I say
A D
The good ole days are right now
