Tuning:
CThe gable wall is all thats left now
The old thached Ccottage is falling Gdown
I dry my eyeCs as I fondly remember
Days of long agoG when I was young
In myC Fathers house, we were poor but we rich inFLove
No TV,C but music we had Gplenty of
And my Cmother hummed her melodies and we all sang Falong
In my CFathers HousGe when I wasC young.
Comes the time, when I am older
And my own children, are reared and gone
I wonder then, will they fondly remember
The days of long ago, when they were young.
In my father's house, a smile would greet you at the door,
A gentle word, weary travelers there,were welcomed for ?
And at night time neighbours rambled in,
Might stay 'till twelfe or one
In my father's house, when I was young.
Now years have passed, and times are changing
The rambling house, is almost gone
But still I hear, the laughter of children
Just like long ago, when I was young.
In my fatheres house, we were poor but rich in love
No t.v. but good times there were plenty of.
And we made the best of what we had, and we sang a happy song
In my fathers house, when we were young
