songwriter: Jimmie Rodgers

|
I'm thinking of you tonight old pal and wishing that you were here
|
I'm dreaming of the time and the days gone by when you filled my heart with cheer
|
I remember the nights when all alone we sang Sweet Adeline*
|
No other face can take your place in my heart old pal of mine
|
|
The old pals are always the best you see new friends you can find every day
|
But they can't fill the places or ever be like the old pals of yesterday
|
[ fiddle ] (in the original, Mr. Rodgers yodels)
|
|
I'm wondering just where you are tonight and if you ever think of me
|
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart your face again to see
|
But in my checkered life I find nothing comes right it seems
|
Still you'll always be a pal of mine though it may be only in dreams
|
|
The old pals are always...
