The Good Old Days of Adam and Eve - Sandy Paton/Caroline Paton
When I was young and very little
We used to make sugar in a pot-ash kettle
Now you must have an evaporating pan
And if you don't make white suger 'tain't worth a damn
Oh dear me I can't help but grieve
For the good old days of Adam and of Eve
Oh dear me I can't help but grieve
For the good old days of Adam and of Eve
When we used to go to a ball
We went with an ox team or no team at all
Now you must have a horse and a sleigh
Buffalo robes and everything gay
Oh dear me I can't help but grieve
For the good old days of Adam and of Eve
Oh dear me I can't help but grieve
For the good old days of Adam and of Eve
While the boys used to be both happy and gay
And able to work both night and day
Now they look like an eel that is skinned
They tremble like a cornstalk shaking in the wind
Oh dear me I can't help but grieve
For the good old days of Adam and of Eve
Oh dear me I can't help but grieve
For the good old days of Adam and of Eve
