GOOD OLD DAYS

 

Some people, pine for the good old days

I will tell you about some days and old way

Remember those cold trips hauling hay or bailing straw

Long miles of breaking trail the bitter wind raw

Horses to harness chores done leave before daylight

Hurry hurry must be there and back by night

 

Big drift to shovel away from the covered shack

Tug and strain for every fork full to fill hayrack

Snow starts drifting wind grows fretful and strong

No time to eat sandwich everything is going wrong

Quick hustle get loaded away home over road

How many hours how many times upset that load

 

At last back home chores still must be done

Water to pump chop firewood kindling all gone

Hayrack is all busted team tired out and beat

Worked hard all day I still have not had time to eat

At long last I enter the cold empty shack

I shiver from the cold and chills cover my back

Must not forget I promised neighbor saw wood next day

Good old days when where and no way
