Now come, my dear
And sit beside me here
And listen to the tales I tell
Of long forgotten years
Now don't be afraid
No, be not all afraid
When I tell you of the ghosts
That wander through these halls each night
They waltz in time
In a time gone by
Where boys all offer out their hands
When the girls go dancing by
But I was told many years ago
The boys don't like the good girls no more
Yes, I was told a long, long time ago
The boys don't like the good girls no more
It used to be
When I was just a girl
She'd come and tuck me in at night
And whisper me these words-
"Oh if I die
Before I wake
I'll pray the Lord so high above
My weary soul to take
No, never you mind
I'll be near while you sleep
So go to bed, and rest your head
And pray the Lord to keep."
But I was told by all these lonely souls
There's no such thing as heaven no more
Yes I was told by all these lonesome souls
There's no such thing as heaven anymore
So come, my dear
And sit beside me here
And play for me, along these keys
The alm of my own chin(?)
The tune that I sing
The tune, this song
It echoes on through empty halls
Where a song had once begun
We waltz, in time
Where the time gone by
Where boys all offered out their hands
When girls went dancing by
But I was told many years ago
The boys don't like the good girls no more
Yes, I was told a long long time ago
The boys don't like the good girls no more
The boys don't like the good girls no more
