Then and Now

Long (D) ago, when (G) I was (D) small
Before computers and  (A) TV
We (D) made it with hardly (G) anything at (D) all
How we did, is hard for (A) me to (D) see

We had coal oil lights and (G) heating (D) stoves
Lanterns and hand pumped water (A) wells
Stacked (D) firewood in (G) long, long (D) rows
It was not easy (A) I am here to (D) tell

And when you (G) were (D) sick
The doctor came to see (A) you
Most (D) people couldnt (G) get to (D) town
So the town (A) came to (D) you

We had the huckster man (G) every few (D) days
Brought candy, coal-oil, cough syrup and shoe (A) strings
A (D) few farm fresh eggs (G) paid our (D) way
So we did get some (A) extra (D) things

Some pine for the (G) good ole (D) days
I have lived both (G) then and (A) now
Considering (D) all in (G) I (D) say
The good ole (A) days are right (D) now
