(Jimmie Rodgers - Elsie McWilliams)
I'm thinking of you tonight old pal
And wishing that you was 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 dotted line
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 could find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be
like the old pals of yesterday.
--- Instrumental ---
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 the best you see
new friends you could find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be
like the old pals of yesterday...
I'm thinking of you tonight old pal
And wishing that you was 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 dotted line
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 could find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be
like the old pals of yesterday.
--- Instrumental ---
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 the best you see
new friends you could find every day
But they can't fill the places or ever be
like the old pals of yesterday...
