Lyrics
I miss the songs of long ago
The kind that we all used to know
Why don’t they write them
In that good old fashioned way
Not the raggy kind they write today
Refrain
I love the old ones
The good as gold ones
The kind my Mammy sang
Everybody ought to know
All the songs of long ago
I hate the new ones
The raggy blue ones
The kind they write today
The ones I love so
Are the songs of long ago
