When you started off a walkin" how
delighted you would feel.
As you stooped to cull the daisies and
their sweetness made you reel.
Side by side vou walked with sally
and your pleasure was intense.
As she took your hand for safety at
the old rail fence.
Good will was then the motto, you
were made to understand,
The home folks were in earnest when
they took you by the hand.
All were friendly and obliging if they
did not dress for show.
There was common sense and comfort,
there were queens in calico.
When all folks walked to meetin' the
churches were not prand.
But the sermons were effective and
then such singin — land!
When their voices joined together in
some old familiar hymn.
You felt your pulses thrillin" and your
eyes a gettic' dim.
All started home rejoicin' — young,
middleaged and old:
They did not shrink from sunshine or
fear to fat*e the cold.
And when you speak of pleasure they
surely had their share,
When folks walked to meetin' or
drove the old grey mare.
