Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stray Leaves From Memory´s Album: Short Stories From the Poetical Works of the Bard of Tar Flat and Other Eminent Authors The Old Days and the New Ways I do not care to go to church In all the grand new-fangled ways; But mem´ry´s record oft I search For grandpa´s good old-fashion´d days, When parsons plough´d and reap´d the grain, As well as preach´d the word of God, And trudged through snow or drenching rain To lay some sinner ´neath the sod. I well remember that sweet wife Of our dear parson, don´t you know, Who brought the sunshine to a life Of some poor cuss engulf´d, in woe! From early morn till late at night She spun the yarn and mix´d the doughs, And by the candles´ yellow light Darn´d socks and made the home-spun clothes. The fiddle, flute, and clarinet, The cello and the slide trombone, With voices blent made you forget You had an earthly cause to moan; Ay, when the congregation rose And with the instruments pitch´d in, In pious manner to dispose Of some old continental hymn, Of all the good stored in your soul There warn´t a whit left slumb´rin´ there; But o´er your features mildly stole A look bereft of worldly care. The horses champ´d their oats at rest, Till hitchin´-up-time well began, Then, togg´d out in your Sunday best You rode home with your Mary Ann. But times are changed since then, old boy, And somehow I jest sort o´ feel "Ye old-time hymn" lacks pious joy With quartette choir and organ zeal. Perch´d on a bench you´ll see a dude, Who, with his feet some pedals plays, Then with a flourish call´d prelude, His fingers trips the keyboards´ ways!
