Old Tyme Mem'ry-Erik Petersen(Mischief Brew)
Intro:        x2

                                                                                 
                                  
When father bought the farm, we sold the farm
                                                                              
                        
Mistook his blood for rustic charm
                                                                               
               
Sold his ghost as an antique to the

city

                                                    
Kids today can’t hold a spade, rest in peace your weary trade
                         
In this world there is no place, such a pity
                              
The barman shakes his head and fills my glass
                        
Says we’re living in the past
                                
Why preserve a dying craft and it’s misery?
                      
I sigh and say “another modern man,
                        
One of property, not land”
                 
So I hold out this battered hand
          
Will you listen?

(Chorus)
                                                                                     
           
Come sit down, we’re lamenting
                                                                                     
           
About yesterday’s sad ending
                                                                                      
         
About the water in my whiskey
                                                                                   
                 
And the brass passed off as gold
                                                                                    
           
Another round, we’re descending
                                                                                
           
In to Old Tyme Mem’ry
                                                                              
            
Of a day when wood was wooden
                                                                                   
              
Silver silver, gold was gold
                                                                               
            
Sweet home was home
                

*Same chord progression as previous verses is also used for the remaining verses.so just 
to the song to get the rhythm and use throughout.*

So you’ve got a new stove in your second home
Runs on gas but looks like oak
Hell, it even gives off smoke and glowing embers
There’s a quilt hung on the wall reads ‘Home Sweet Home’
Below some wise word from Thoreau
And they call me ‘throwback’ when I cry “Remember!”

(Chorus)

And son these tools are artifacts
Endangered species left its tracks
Lock me up behind plastic glass in the city
‘Cos there’s no going back for me
This antique rustic’s eulogy
Shall be sold as folk artistry
Such a pity...

But I’ll never understand
Why they all only use those hands
To build a stead that will always stand in old time country
But settle for white rooms and hollow doors
Paper ceilings, padded floors
Luxury boxes where you’re stored in what was country.

(Chorus Twice)
