American Old Time Song Lyrics: 09 The Old Play Ground
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 9
THE OLD PLAY-GROUND.
I'm sitting to-day in the old play-ground,
Where you and I have sat so oft together;
I'm thinking of the joys When you And I were boys,
In the merry days now gone, John, forever;
Twas here we sat in the merry olden time,
And we dreamed of the wild world before us,
And our visions and hopes of the coming time,
Were as bright as the sun which shone o'er us.
Chorus.
I'm sitting to-day in the old play-ground.
Where you and I have sat so oft together;
I'm thinking of the joys when you and 1 were boys,
In those merry days now gone, John, forever.
O'er this threshold, John, we passed forlon,
To wander, we knew not where;
The heaven we thought so bright was o'ershadowed by night,
And the pathway lay dark and drear;
But I'm sitting to-day in the old play-ground,
Where you and I have sat so oft together,
And these memories wild have made me a child,
As in the merry days now gone, John, forever.-Chorus.
