School Days

“School days, school days, dear old golden rule days,
Readin’ and ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic, Taught to the tune of a hick’ry stick,
You were my queen in calico, I was your bashful barefoot beau,
And you wrote on my slate, I love you Joe, When we were a couple of kids.”

Chorus from When We Were A Couple of Kids by Will D. Cobb and Gus Edwards – 1907
