Never Forget Your Parents 1909

A young man once was sitting
within a swell café,
the music it did play so sweet,
the people were quite gay.
But he alone was silent,
a tear was in his eye,
a waitress she stepped up to him,
and asked him gently why.
He turned to her in sorrow,
and at first he spoke no words,
but soon he spoke unto her,
she was an honest girl,
he rose up from that table
in this elegant café
and in a voice replete with tears
to her, he then did say...

Never forget you father
think all he done for you,
do not desert your mother dear,
so loving kind and true,
Think of all they have gave you
do not cast it away,
for if it had not been for them
we would not be here today.
