FAR BACK IN MY CHILDHOOD (SHIVERING IN THE COLD; I'M ALONE, ALL ALONE) Sung by: Mrs. Ben F. Johnson Recorded in Cave City, AR, 7/11/52 Click here to listen to the original recording I was happy and beloved ere I wandered away. I was taught by my mother, who sleeps beneath the stone, And caressed by my father, yet I wandered alone. Chorus: All alone, yes, alone, But I feel I'm growing old, Yet I wander, oh, how lonely-- I am shivering in the cold. I remember, too, my children, how they climbed upon my knee, As I kissed my little darlings in the days when I was free. (Chorus) Also found in Randolph, Vol. II, #327, "Shivering in the Cold"; Brown, Vol. III, #31, "I'm Alone, All Alone." |
