[00:05.74]	There was a story in the San Francisco Chronicle that of course I forgot to save
[00:11.44]	But it was about a lady who lived in the 'good old days'
[00:16.87]	When a century was born and a century had died
[00:22.67]	And about these 'good old days' the old lady replied
[00:28.89]	"Why they were just a lot of people doing the best they could"
[00:34.48]	"Just a lot of people doing the best they could"
[00:40.53]	And then the lady said that they did it, "pretty up and walking good"
[00:47.82]
[00:49.05]	What ever happened to those faces in the old photographs
[00:54.41]	I mean, the little boys……
[00:58.26]	Boys? …… Hell they were men
[01:01.66]	Who stood knee deep in the Johnstown mud
[01:04.95]	In the time of that terrible flood
[01:08.85]	And they listened to the water, that awful noise
[01:18.86]	And then they put away the dreams that belonged to little boys
[01:24.90]
[01:31.85]	And the sun is going down for Mister Bouie
[01:39.36]	As he's singing with his class of nineteen-two
[01:48.40]	Oh, mother country, I do love you
[01:56.61]	Oh, mother country, I do love you
[02:04.20]
[02:06.81]	I knew a man named E.A.Stuart, spelled S.T.U.A.R.T.
[02:17.57]	And he owned some of the finest horses that I think I've ever seen
[02:23.29]	And he had one favorite, a champion, the old Campaigner
[02:31.71]	And he called her "Sweetheart On Parade"
[02:37.86]	And she was easily the finest horse that the good Lord ever made
[02:45.45]	But old E.A.Stuart, he was going blind
[02:51.08]	And he said "Before I go, I gotta drive her one more time"
[02:56.71]	So people came from miles around, and they stood around the ring
[03:06.73]	No one said a word
[03:09.00]	You know, no one said a thing
[03:15.14]	Then here they come, E.A. Stuart in the wagon right behind
[03:23.66]	Sitting straight and proud and he's driving her stone blind
[03:32.53]	And would you look at her
[03:35.10]	Oh, she never looked finer or went better than today
[03:40.88]	It's E.A. Stuart and the old Campaigner, "Sweetheart On Parade"
[03:49.87]	And the people cheered
[03:52.82]	Why I even saw a grown man break right down and cry
[03:58.84]	And you know it was just a little while later that old E.A. Stuart died
[04:07.97]
[04:13.59]	And the sun it is going down for Mister Bouie
[04:21.03]	As he's singing with his class of nineteen-two
[04:29.68]	Oh mother country, I do love you
[04:37.66]	Oh mother country, I do love you
[04:45.97]
