The Old Oaken Bucket


Melody - E. Kaillmark

Samuel Woodworth

1. |: How dear to the heart
      Are the scenes of my childhood,
      When fond recollection
      Presents them to view! :|

Refrain:
The wide spreading pond,
And the mill that stood by it,
The bridge and the rock
Where the cataract fell.

2. |: The orchard, the meadow,
      The deep tangled wildwood,
      And ev'ry loved spot
      Which my infancy knew. :|
Refrain:

3. |: The old oaken bucket,
      The ironbbound bucket,
      The moss-covered bucket
      That hung in the well. :|
Refrain:
