"Dear Old Girl" lyrics

'Twas a sunny day in June
And the birds were all in tune
When the preacher said the word that made us one
And you were a faithful wife
Through the changing scenes of life
'Till the master said your work on earth was done

Dear old girl
The robin sings above you
Dear old girl
It speaks of how I love you

The blinding tears are falling
As I think of my lost pearl
And my broken heart is calling
Calling for you, dear old girl

Dear old girl
The robin sings above you
Dear old girl
It speaks of how I love you

The blinding tears are falling
As I think of my lost pearl
And my broken heart is calling
Calling for you, dear old girl

Dear old girl (Ooo)
The robin sings above you (Ooo)
Dear old girl (Ooo)
It speaks of how I love you (Ooo)

The blinding tears are falling (Ooo)
As I think of my lost pearl (Ooo)
And my broken heart is calling
Calling for you, dear old girl
