Wasn't it pleasant O brother mine	A
In those old days of the lost sunshine	A
Of youth when the Saturday's chores were through	B
And the Sunday's wood in the kitchen too	B
And we went visiting me and you	B
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
	-
It all comes back so clear to day	D
Though I am as bald as you are gray	D
Out by the barn lot and down the lane	E
We patter along in the dust again	F
As light as the tips of the drops of the rain	E
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
	-
We cross the pasture and through the wood	G
Where the old gray snag of the poplar stood	G
Where the hammering red heads hopped awry	H
And the buzzard raised in the clearing sky	H
And lolled and circled as we went by	H
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
	-
And then in the dust of the road again	F
And the teams we met and the countrymen	I
And the long highway with sunshine spread	J
As thick as butter on country bread	J
Our cares behind and our hearts ahead	J
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
	-
Why I see her now in the open door	K
Where the little gourds grew up the sides and o'er	L
The clapboard roof And her face ah me	M
Wasn't it good for a boy to see	M
And wasn't it good for a boy to be	M
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
	-
The jelly the Jam and the marmalade	N
And the cherry and quince preserves'' she made	N
And the sweet sour pickles of peach and pear	O
With cinnamon in 'em and all things rare	O
And the more we ate was the more to spare	O
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
	-
And the old spring house in the cool green gloom	P
Of the willow trees and the cooler room	P
Where the swinging shelves and the crocks were kept	Q
Where the cream in a golden languor slept	Q
While the waters gurgled and laughed and wept	Q
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
	-
And O my brother so far away	D
This is to tell you she waits to day	D
To welcome us Aunt Mary fell	R
Asleep this morning whispering Tell	R
The boys to come And all is well	R
Out to Old Aunt Mary's	C
