《To an Old Mate》歌词

[00:00:00] To An Old Mate - John Schumann and The Vagabond Crew

[00:00:03] Written by： Traditional

[00:00:16] Old mate in the gusty old weather

[00:00:20] When our hopes and our troubles were new

[00:00:24] In the years we spent in wearing out leather

[00:00:28] I found you unselfish and true

[00:00:31] I have gathered these songs together

[00:00:35] For the sake of our friendship and true

[00:00:39] And I send them along instead of the letters

[00:00:44] I promised to write to you

[00:00:49] I remember old man I remember

[00:00:53] The tracks that we followed are clear

[00:00:57] The jovial last nights of December

[00:01:01] The solemn first days of the year

[00:01:05] Long tramps through the clearings and the timber

[00:01:09] Short partings on platform and pier

[00:01:13] I remember old man I remember

[00:01:17] The tracks that we followed are clear

[00:01:23] I can still feel the spirit that bore us

[00:01:27] And often the old stars will shine

[00:01:31] I remember the las spree in chorus

[00:01:35] For the sake of that other Lang Syne

[00:01:39] When the tracks lay divided before us

[00:01:43] Your path through the future and mine

[00:01:47] I can still feel the spirit that bore us

[00:01:51] And often the old stars will shine

[00:02:09] Find in these pages a trace of

[00:02:13] That side of our past which was bright

[00:02:17] And recognize sometimes the face of

[00:02:19] A friend a friend who has dropped out of sight

[00:02:25] I have gathered these songs together

[00:02:29] For the sake of our friendship and you

[00:02:33] And I send them along instead of the letters

[00:02:37] I promised to write to you

[00:02:40] And I send them along instead of the letters

[00:02:44] I promised to write
