Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mem’ry strays, to other days,
When I was small,
A little maid, with hair in braid,
I now recall;
Proudly to the school house gate,
Just at eight, books and slate;
I would carry, as I’d tarry,
With my little school mate.
[Chorus]
School mates we,
You and me,
Since the day we “learnt” to say our “A. B. C.”
Love notes and glances, passed to and fro;
Schoolmates, playmates,
Not so many years ago.
[Verse 2]
Years have flown, and we have grown,
Old school mate mine,
But still I hear, in fancy dear,
The clock strike nine;
As you’d call out tenderly,
“Wait for me, after three;”
School hours over, through the clover,
We’d stroll home so merry.
[Chorus]
