Then and Now

Then and Now
Long Dago, when GI was Dsmall
Before computers and ATV
We Dmade it with hardly Ganything at Dall
How we did, is hard for Ame to Dsee
We had coal oil lights and Gheating Dstoves
Lanterns and hand pumped water Awells
Stacked Dfirewood in Glong, long Drows
It was not easy AI am here to Dtell
And when you Gwere Dsick
The doctor came to see Ayou
Most Dpeople couldnt Gget to Dtown
So the town Acame to Dyou
We had the huckster man Gevery few Ddays
Brought candy, coal-oil, cough syrup and shoe Astrings
A Dfew farm fresh eggs Gpaid our Dway
So we did get some Aextra Dthings
Some pine for the Ggood ole Ddays
I have lived both Gthen and Anow
Considering Dall in GI Dsay
The good ole Adays are right Dnow

Then and Now

D G D

Long ago, when I was small

Before computers and TV

D G D

We made it with hardly anything at all

A D

How we did, is hard for me to see

G D

We had coal oil lights and heating stoves

Lanterns and hand pumped water wells

D G D

Stacked firewood in long, long rows

A D

It was not easy I am here to tell

G D

And when you were sick

The doctor came to see you

D G D

Most people couldnt get to town

A D

So the town came to you

G D

We had the huckster man every few days

Brought candy, coal-oil, cough syrup and shoe strings

D G D

A few farm fresh eggs paid our way

A D

So we did get some extra things

G D

Some pine for the good ole days

G A

I have lived both then and now

D G D

Considering all in I say

A D

The good ole days are right now
