THINK OF FATHER, TOO.
Copyright, 1888, by Geo. M. Klenk & Co.
Words and Music by Frank Emerson.
There's a rule given to us in the bible,
A rule that we ever should revere;
'Tis, honor thy father and thy mother,
For they will not be always with us here.
Though we never can forget our dear, kind mother,
She is always our nearest friend and true;
Though we love her as we love no other,
We should think of poor old father, too.
Chorus.
He worked and toiled for us when we were young,
And how he cared for us we little knew;
Though we never can forget our dear, kind mother,
We should think of poor old father, too.
Each day upon the earth we're growing older;
We're our parents' only joy and pride,
We Should always try to make them happy,
While with us here below they do abide.
Though at times your father may have judged you hasty,
Yet for yourself he knew the best to do;
Though we never can forget our mother
We should think of poor old father, too.- Chorus.
