On Grandma's Kitchen Floor 1906

In the midst of toil and trouble
when sorrows come and go
I love to think of childhood days
the days of long ago,
I played down in the barnyard
ran errands to the store,
but the dearest place of all to me
was Grandma's kitchen floor.

Down in Grandma's kitchen
playing on the floor,
Eating Grandma's cookies
begging for some more,
watching Grandma knitting,
hearing Grandma snore
I wish I were a child again,
on Grandma's kitchen floor.

I went fishing in the millstream
at just the break of day
I wandered idly through the woods
when it was time to play,
I'd give the world and all its wealth
if time could but restore,
Those happy days when I was young
on Grandma's kitchen floor.

Down in Grandma's kitchen
playing on the floor,
Eating Grandma's cookies
begging for some more,
watching Grandma knitting,
hearing Grandma snore
I wish I were a child again,
on Grandma's kitchen floor.
