Lake Fork Verne - Then and now

Long ^Dago, when ^GI was ^Dsmall Before computers and ^ATV We ^Dmade it with hardly ^Ganything at ^Dall How we did, is hard for ^Ame to ^Dsee

We had coal oil lights and ^Gheating ^Dstoves Lanterns and hand pumped water ^Awells Stacked ^Dfirewood in ^Glong, long ^Drows It was not easy ^AI am here to ^Dtell

And when you ^Gwere ^Dsick The doctor came to see ^Ayou Most ^Dpeople couldnt ^Gget to ^Dtown So the town ^Acame to ^Dyou

We had the huckster man ^Gevery few ^Ddays Brought candy, coal-oil, cough syrup and shoe ^Astrings A ^Dfew farm fresh eggs ^Gpaid our ^Dway So we did get some ^Aextra ^Dthings

Some pine for the ^Ggood ole ^Ddays I have lived both ^Gthen and ^Anow Considering ^Dall in ^GI ^Dsay The good ole ^Adays are right ^Dnow
