| [00:05.74] | There was a story in the San Francisco Chronicle that of course I forgot to save |
| [00:11.44] | But it was about a lady who lived in the 'good old days' |
| [00:16.87] | When a century was born and a century had died |
| [00:22.67] | And about these 'good old days' the old lady replied |
| [00:28.89] | "Why they were just a lot of people doing the best they could" |
| [00:34.48] | "Just a lot of people doing the best they could" |
| [00:40.53] | And then the lady said that they did it, "pretty up and walking good" |
| [00:47.82] | |
| [00:49.05] | What ever happened to those faces in the old photographs |
| [00:54.41] | I mean, the little boys…… |
| [00:58.26] | Boys? …… Hell they were men |
| [01:01.66] | Who stood knee deep in the Johnstown mud |
| [01:04.95] | In the time of that terrible flood |
| [01:08.85] | And they listened to the water, that awful noise |
| [01:18.86] | And then they put away the dreams that belonged to little boys |
| [01:24.90] | |
| [01:31.85] | And the sun is going down for Mister Bouie |
| [01:39.36] | As he's singing with his class of nineteen-two |
| [01:48.40] | Oh, mother country, I do love you |
| [01:56.61] | Oh, mother country, I do love you |
| [02:04.20] | |
| [02:06.81] | I knew a man named E.A.Stuart, spelled S.T.U.A.R.T. |
| [02:17.57] | And he owned some of the finest horses that I think I've ever seen |
| [02:23.29] | And he had one favorite, a champion, the old Campaigner |
| [02:31.71] | And he called her "Sweetheart On Parade" |
| [02:37.86] | And she was easily the finest horse that the good Lord ever made |
| [02:45.45] | But old E.A.Stuart, he was going blind |
| [02:51.08] | And he said "Before I go, I gotta drive her one more time" |
| [02:56.71] | So people came from miles around, and they stood around the ring |
| [03:06.73] | No one said a word |
| [03:09.00] | You know, no one said a thing |
| [03:15.14] | Then here they come, E.A. Stuart in the wagon right behind |
| [03:23.66] | Sitting straight and proud and he's driving her stone blind |
| [03:32.53] | And would you look at her |
| [03:35.10] | Oh, she never looked finer or went better than today |
| [03:40.88] | It's E.A. Stuart and the old Campaigner, "Sweetheart On Parade" |
| [03:49.87] | And the people cheered |
| [03:52.82] | Why I even saw a grown man break right down and cry |
| [03:58.84] | And you know it was just a little while later that old E.A. Stuart died |
| [04:07.97] | |
| [04:13.59] | And the sun it is going down for Mister Bouie |
| [04:21.03] | As he's singing with his class of nineteen-two |
| [04:29.68] | Oh mother country, I do love you |
| [04:37.66] | Oh mother country, I do love you |
