Lyrics of My old pal

Songwriter: jimmie rodgers

I'm thinking of you tonight old pal and wishing that you were here
I'm dreaming of the time and the days gone by when you filled my heart with cheer
I remember the nights when all alone we sang sweet adeline*
No other face can take your place in my heart old pal of mine

The old pals are always the best you see new friends you can find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be like the old pals of yesterday
( fiddle ) (in the original, mr. rodgers yodels)

I'm wondering just where you are tonight and if you ever think of me
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart your face again to see
But in my checkered life i find nothing comes right it seems
Still you'll always be a pal of mine though it may be only in dreams

The old pals are always...
