[Verse:] Back to the olden Days that were golden Memory often strays Before anyone could gaze At Molly's and May's Little ankle displays Time with its changes Often arranges Styles that become the craze But I am yearning To be returning Back to those crinoline days [Refrain:] In those dear old crinoline days Old fashioned people with their old fashioned ways When the girl a fellow courted Was the girl he married and supported Back in eighteen seventy-four Rosy complexions weren't bought in a store Granny and grand-daddy longingly gaze Back to those crinoline days
