in memory of you, dear old pal
(Words and Music by C. E. Snow Hank, The Singing Ranger)G7 C E C C G7 G7 C Gdim G7Everything has gone wrong and the nights are so long since you left us down here all alone,C E7 F C G7 C F Ceveryday seems a year and the whole world is drear, it seems now I just cant go on.G7 F C D7 C7Standing close by my side is our own little pride, he misses your lullaby tune,C E7 F C G7 CAnd his big dark blue eyes swell with tears as he cries Wont Mummy come back to us soon?I planted sweet lilies for you dear of one on your grave neath the pines in the dawn and our baby each day kneeled with me as I prayed in memry of you dear old pal.G7 C E C C G7 G7 C Gdim G7The angels will love you and keep you I know, cause they needed some one just like youC E7 F C G7 C F Cto brighten the heaven around Gods great throne, and add a new star to the blue.G7 F C D7 C7Ill watch oer the baby and tend him with care and each night by his bedside Ill kneelC E7 F C G7 CAnd if tears do not stop me Ill sing him to sleep in memry of you dear old pal.
All your big stakes and treasures I placed them away to me they mean more than a world and the babys first curl to your picture Ive tend in memry of you dear old pal.
