| Affection's charm no longer gilds | B |
| The idol of the shrine | C |

| Regret's ambrosial wine | C |
| Though Friendship's offering buried lies | B |
| 'Neath cold Aversion's snow | E |
| Regard and Faith will ever bloom | F |
| Perpetually below | E |

| I see thee whirl in marble halls | B |
| In Pleasure's giddy train | G |
| Remorse is never on that brow | H |
| Nor Sorrow's mark of pain | G |
| Deceit has marked thee for her own | I |
| Inconstancy the same | J |
| And Ruin wildly sheds its gleam | K |
| Athwart thy path of shame | J |

| And ere my senses fail | N |
| Place me once more O mother dear | O |
| Astride the old fence rail | N |

| The old fence rail the old fence rail | N |
| How oft these youthful legs | B |
| With Alice' and Ben Bolt's were hung | P |
| Across those wooden pegs | B |
| 'Twas there the nauseating smoke | Q |
| Of my first pipe arose | B |
| O mother dear these agonies | B |
| Are far less keen than those | B |

| I know where lies the hazel dell | R |
| Where simple Nellie sleeps | B |
| I know the cot of Nettie Moore | S |
| And where the willow weeps | B |
| I know the brookside and the mill | D |
| But all their pathos fails | B |
| Beside the days when once I sat | T |
| Astride the old fence rails | B |

| And ring ting ling ling | Y |
| And sing fal la la | V |
| La la le Repeat | X |
