CHORUS.

I’m sitting to-day in the old play-ground,

Where you and I have sat so oft together,

I’m thinking of the joys when you and I were boys

In those merry days now gone, John, forever.

O’er the threshold, John, we pass’d forlorn,

To wander we knew not where,

The heaven we thought so bright was o’ershadow’d by night,

And the pathway lay dark and drear.

But I am sitting to-day in the old play-ground,

Where you and I have sat so oft together,

And these memories wild have made me a child,

As in the merry days now gone, John, forever.

CHORUS.--I’m sitting to-day, &c.
