Song Lyrics
THIS STORY I TELL YOU IS TRUE

1. Come stroll for a while through my memory
And I'll tell you of time long ago,
When we walked to school summer and winter,
Barefoot through the fields we would go.
I remember our little thatched cottage,
And the half-door led into the hall,
The crane o'er the fire in the kitchen,
And the grandfather clock on the wall.
              CHORUS
The stout it was cured with a poker,
And poteen they said cured the flu.
The bacon it hung from the ceiling.
Sure, the story I tell you is true.

2. We went to church every Sunday
And grandfather wore his best hat
The preacher he spoke from the altar
And the all women in different seats sat.
Matchmaking' was part of tradition,
And the rambling house filled up at night
The tailor told the  ghost stories,
All the children they’d shiver with fright.
                CHORUS
3. I remember the sound of the anvil
And the burning horses huff we could smell
When we passed the forge door in the evening
With the water we fetched from the well.
We spanciled the cows before milkin'
Tied the horse to the wall from the shoe.
His collar the haines the winkers and raines
The harness we kept them like new
              CHORUS

4 For miles to the fair in darkness with our animals
We walked with delight.
When the wheelin' and dealin' was over,
Everyone waited on for the fight.
Now I hope that in telling this story,
I haven't detained you too long;
But there is so much more I can tell you
Someday in some other song
       CHORUS
