[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
[04:45.97]
