"The Old Sundowner / The Silver In My Mother's Hair / Now Is The Hour"

The Old Sundowner
The call me the Old Sundowner, Sundowner, Sundowner

All day long I am on the track
With me billy in me hand and me swag on me back
Sunshine or moonshine, always around ya
I don't get no wealth, I am satisfied with health
And the life of an old sundowner

The Silver in My Mother's Hair
There's no silver lining in any cloud like the silver in my mother's hair
Nothing so precious in all the world, nothing with it will compare
I've seen the dewdrops upon the rose, I've seen the lilies so fair
But nothing I see is as dear to me as the silver in my mother's hair

Now Is the Hour
Now is the hour when we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing, far across the sea
While you're away, oh please remember me
When you return, you'll find me waiting here

Now is the hour when we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing, far across the sea
While you're away, oh please remember me
When you return, you'll find me waiting here
