Jimmie Rodgers My Old Pal
I'm thinking of you tonight old pal and wishing that you
were here
I'm dreaming of the time and the days gone by when you
filled my heart with cheer
I remember the nights when all alone we sang Sweet
Adeline*
No other face can take your place in my heart old pal of
mine
The old pals are always the best you see new friends you
can find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be like the old
pals of yesterday
[ fiddle ] (in the original, Mr. Rodgers yodels)
I'm wondering just where you are tonight and if you ever
think of me
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart your
face again to see
But in my checkered life I find nothing comes right it
seems
Still you'll always be a pal of mine though it may be
only in dreams
The old pals are always...
