VERSE 01: Often times fond mem’ry binds me/To the dear sweet long ago,/In a golden flood of fancy I can see the dear past flow;/All I lov’d in fond reflection,/Paints a picture sweet and rare,/Of my home in happy childhood,/By the dear old Delaware. CHORUS: When the dew is on the meadow and the lark is soaring high,/When the sun in all its glory lights the crimson eastern sky,/Memry turns to fields and wildwood, to a scene beyond compare,/’Tis my home beside the dear old Delaware. VERSE 02: I can hear the song of reapers,/I can see a girlish form,/With her dark brown tresses waving/’Mid the golden tassel’d corn/Sweet and clear with lark, her singing/Seems to summer all the air/Round my home in happy childhood,/By the dear old Delaware. | |
