Oh for the fire that used to glow	A
In those my days of old	B
I never thought a man could grow	A
So callous and so cold	B
Ah for the heart that used to ache	C
For those in sorrow s ways	D
I often wish my heart could break	C
As it did in those dead days	D
	-
Along my track of storm and stress	E
And it is plain to trace	F
I look back from the loneliness	G
And the depth of my disgrace	F
Twas fate and only fate I know	A
But all mistakes are plain	H
Tis sadder than the afterglow	A
More dreary than the rain	H
	-
But still there lies a patch of sun	I
That ne er will come again	J
Those golden days when I was one	I
Of Nature s gentlemen	K
And if there is a memory	L
Could break me down at last	M
It sure would be the thought of this	N
The sunshine in the past	M
	-
But spite of sunshine on the track	O
And well the sun might shine	P
My heart grows hard when I look back	O
From these dark days of mine	P
A nobler child was never born	Q
In all the Southern land	R
The slave of selfish ignorance	S
That could not understand	R
	-
Oh I had lived for many years	T
In a world of my ideal	U
With no false laughter no false tears	V
And it seemed very real	U
But I was wakened from my dreams	W
And learnt with hardening eyes	X
A world of selfish treachery	L
Of paltry shame and lies	X
	-
I left the truest friends on earth	Y
Who did not need my aid	Z
And worked for those who were not worth	Y
The sacrifice I made	Z
And while I blindly strove to raise	D
The coward and the clown	A2
They sneaked behind by shady ways	D
And tore my palace down	A2
	-
But let those faithless friends of mine	P
Who d think of me with scorn	Q
Remember that for many years	T
A heavy load I ve borne	Q
And my true friends when all is done	I
And my sad soul is gone	B2
Will think of battles I have won	I
When I lead rivals on	C2
	-
And though from spite and worldly things	D2
I well should be exempt	E2
For little men and paltry men	J
I scarce can feel contempt	E2
They followed me with flattery	L
In the days when I was brave	F2
But for those who have been true to me	L
I ll strike back from the grave	F2
