School Days
(When We Were A Couple Of Kids)
Words and Music by Gus Edwards and Will D. Cobb
Nothing to do, Nellie Darling,
Nothing to do you say,
Let's take a trip on memory's ship,
Back to the by gone days
Sail to the old village school house,
Anchor outside the school door,
Look in and see, there's you and there's me,
A couple of kids once more
School days, school days, dear old golden rule days,
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic, Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick,
You were my queen in calico, I was your bashful barefoot beau,
And you wrote on my slate, I love you Joe, When we were a couple of kids.
'Member the hill, Nellie Darling,
And the oak tree that grew on it's brow?
They've built forty stories upon that old hill,
And the oaks an old chestnut now.
'Member the meadows so green dear,
So fragrant with clover and maize,
Into new city lots and preferred bus'ness plots,
They've cut them up since those days.
School days, school days, dear old golden rule days,
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic, Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick,
You were my queen in calico, I was your bashful barefoot beau,
And you wrote on my slate, I love you Joe, When we were a couple of kids.

| Such a busy time of year! I have been helping my oldest daughter in her classroom for 4 days! :) I’m exhausted! lol. She is in training for a few days so I will be able to rest. Her first day is August 28th. |

| I love this graphic of school days. So old fashioned and sweet! Our public schools started classes on August 12 and the University started on August 22. This coming weekend is the first football game for the University of Florida which always generates a lot of enthusiasm in the town for the many Gator football fans who have been waiting for this new SEC season to start. |
