On old Brandywine about	A
Where White's Lots is now laid out	A
And the old crick narries down	B
To the ditch that splits the town	B
Kingry's Mill stood Hardly see	C
Where the old dam ust to be	C
Shallor long dry trought o' grass	D
Where the old race ust to pass	D
	-
That's be'n forty years ago	E
Forty years o' frost and snow	E
Forty years o' shade and shine	F
Sence them boyhood days o' mine	F
All the old landmarks o' town	B
Changed about er rotted down	B
Where's the Tanyard Where's the Still	G
Tell me where's old Kingry's Mill	G
	-
Don't seem furder back to me	C
I'll be dogg'd Than yisterd'y	A
Since us fellers in bare feet	A
And straw hats went through the wheat	A
Cuttin' 'crost the shortest shoot	A
Fer that air old ellum root	A
Jest above the mill dam where	H
The blame' cars now crosses there	H
	-
Through the willers down the crick	I
We could see the old mill stick	I
Its red gable up as if	J
It jest knowed we'd stol'd the skiff	J
See the winders in the sun	K
Blink like they wuz wonderun'	K
What the miller ort to do	A
With sich boys as me and you	A
	-
But old Kingry Who could fear	L
That old chap with all his cheer	L
Leanin' at the window sill	G
Er the half door o' the mill	G
Swoppin' lies and pokin' fun	K
'N jigglin' like his hoppers done	K
Laughin' grists o' gold and red	A
Right out o' the wagon bed	A
	-
What did he keer where we went	A
'Jest keep out o' devilment	A
And don't fool around the belts	M
Bolts ner burrs ner nothin' else	N
'Bout the blame machinery	C
And that's all I ast ' says ee	C
Then we'd climb the stairs and play	O
In the bran bins half the day	O
	-
Rickollect the dusty wall	P
And the spider webs and all	P
Rickollect the trimblin' spout	A
Where the meal come josslln' out	A
Stand and comb yer fingers through	A
The fool truck an hour er two	A
Felt so sorto' warm like and	A
Soothin' to a feller's hand	A
	-
Climb high up above the stream	Q
And 'coon' out the wobbly beam	Q
And peek down from out the lof'	J
Where the weather boards was off	J
Gee mun nee w'y it takes grit	A
Even jest to think of it	A
Lookin' 'way down there below	E
On the worter roarin' so	E
	-
Rickollect the flume and wheel	R
And the worter slosh and reel	R
And jest ravel out in froth	S
Flossier'n satin cloth	S
Rickollect them paddles jest	A
Knock the bubbles galley west	A
And plunge under and come up	T
Drippin' like a worter pup	T
	-
And to see them old things gone	K
That I onc't was bettin' on	K
In rale p'int o' fact I feel	R
kindo' like that worter wheel	R
Sorto' drippy like and wet	A
Round the eyes but paddlin' yet	A
And in mem'ry loafin' still	G
Down around old Kingry's Mill	G
