Then and Now

Then and Now

Long (D) ago, when (G) I was (D) small

Before computers and (A) TV

We (D) made it with hardly (G) anything at (D) all

How we did, is hard for (A) me to (D) see

We had coal oil lights and (G) heating (D) stoves

Lanterns and hand pumped water (A) wells

Stacked (D) firewood in (G) long, long (D) rows

It was not easy (A) I am here to (D) tell

And when you (G) were (D) sick

The doctor came to see (A) you

Most (D) people couldnt (G) get to (D) town

So the town (A) came to (D) you

We had the huckster man (G) every few (D) days

Brought candy, coal-oil, cough syrup and shoe (A) strings

A (D) few farm fresh eggs (G) paid our (D) way

So we did get some (A) extra (D) things

Some pine for the (G) good ole (D) days

I have lived both (G) then and (A) now

Considering (D) all in (G) I (D) say

The good ole (A) days are right (D) now
