Cat. #1052 (MFH #750) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on March 11, 1970
VERSE 1
Tonight when shadows are falling
At the close of a long weary day
It seems I can hear your voice caling
My old pal of yesterday
CHORUS:
Ole pal, I'm so blue since you left me
Life's been a burden to bear
I wonder ole pal, if you still miss me
I wonder if you still care
VERSE 2
Does your memory stray to yesterday
A picture, two heart light an' gay
And O, I want you t' come back
For I still love you
My ole pal of yesterday
VERSE 3
When th shipperwill call, from th wildwood
To its mate, who has drifted away
My heart 'ar so sad, for my childhood
An' my ole pal of yesterday
CHORUS:
Ole pal, I'm so blue since you left me
Life's been a burden to bear
I wonder ole pal, if you still miss me
I wonder if you still care
Why don't you come back for I still love you
Ole pal of yesterday
