. . That's the old country, that's the old home ! You never forget it wherever you roam. ^ Written for a Gramophone Record. 162 Digitized by Google THE OLD COUNTRY 163 II I know an English village, O so small ! Where every cottage has a whitewashed wall, And every garden has a sweetbriar hedge, And there's a cat on every window ledge. And there's a cottage there with those within it Whom I in fancy visit every minute. little village mine, so far away, How would I love to visit you to-day ! To l...ift the latch and peep within the door And join the happy company once more — 1 think I'd try and catch them at their tea : What a surprise for every one 'twould be ! How we would talk and laugh, maybe and cry. Living our lost years over, they and I ; And then at dusk I'd seek the well-known lane To hear the English nightingale again . . . That's the old country, that's the old home ! You never can beat it wherever you roam. Ill O London once my home but now so far. You shine before me brighter than a star !
