Well do I remember my quaint Old Village Church
Recalls memories to me of my youthful days
Their absence, their past days, they leave me in the lurch
For some have passed on or have gone their separate ways
Such scenes remind me, they do, of my youthful days
Where are the lads and lassies that I used to know?
For some have passed on or have gone their separate ways
Where are some living now, where, O where did they go?
Where are the lads and lassies that I used to know?
Some be in the churchyard, they be under the stones
Where are some living now, where, O where did they go?
Some in distant lands, some rest in peace, only bones
Some be in the churchyard, they be under the stones
Their absence, their past days, they leave me in the lurch
Some in distant lands, some rest in peace, only bones
Well do I remember my quaint Old Village Church
