Country Singers like me, I know you'll agree

Time changes as life still goes on.

I'll bet you dear brother, one time or another,

I'm dreaming of the times and the days gone by.

When you filled my heart with cheer.

I remember the nights when all alone

We sang 'Sweet Adeline'.

No other face can take your place

In my heart old pal of mine.

New friends you can find every day

         F                        C

Like the old pals of yesterday

And if you ever think of me

         C                       G
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart

A7                 D
Your face again to see

    G                      D
But in my checkered life I find

                       G       G7
Nothing comes right it seems

    C                  G
But you'll always be a pal of mine

          A7    D       G
Though it maybe only in dreams

Like the old pals of yesterday
