Those That I Went To School With

Some of them with the departed and the others growing old and gray Those that I went to school with in the long gone yesterday From the boys and girls I went to school with many years before I reached my prime I am separated by distance and by long years of time. Some of them live far distant from Hibernia's windswept shore And from the Town in View of Clara hill overlooking Claramore And some of them remained in Duhallow married and there raised their family And some of them remained unattached single and fancy free. Most of those I went to school with I have not seen for years And for the past and for what has been I've shed nostalgic tears Like every other migrant for the past forever gone But the present is what matters and we keep on keeping on. Of those I went to school with good memories I retain Though most of them I realize I will never meet again We've gone our separate ways in life but memories of them I do recall And happy memories of what was the best memories of all.
