On old Brandywine -- about / Where White's Lots is now laid out, / And the old crick narries down / To the ditch that splits the town -- , / Kingry's Mill stood. Hardly see / Where the old dam ust to be; / Shallor, long, dry trought o' grass / Where the old race ust to pass!
That's be'n forty years ago -- / Forty years o' frost and snow -- / Forty years o' shade and shine / Sence them boyhood-days o' mine -- !
