| Your lips of tenderness | B |
| Oh I've loved you faithfully and well | C |
| Three years or a bit less | D |
| It wasn't a success | D |
| - | |
| Thank God that's done and I'll take the road | E |
| Quit of my youth and you | F |
| The Roman road to Wendover | G |
| By Tring and Lilley Hoo | F |
| As a free man may do | F |
| - | |
| For youth goes over the joys that fly | H |
| The tears that follow fast | I |
| And the dirtiest things we do must lie | H |
| Forgotten at the last | I |
| Even Love goes past | I |
| - | |
| What's left behind I shall not find | J |
| The splendour and the pain | K |
| The splash of sun the shouting wind | J |
| And the brave sting of rain | K |
| I may not meet again | L |
| - | |
| But the years that take the best away | M |
| Give something in the end | N |
| And a better friend than love have they | M |
| For none to mar or mend | N |
| That have themselves to friend | N |
| - | |
| I shall desire and I shall find | J |
| The best of my desires | O |
| The autumn road the mellow wind | J |
| That soothes the darkening shires | P |
| And laughter and inn fires | O |
| - | |
| White mist about the black hedgerows | O |
| The slumbering Midland plain | K |
| The silence where the clover grows | O |
| And the dead leaves in the lane | K |
| Certainly these remain | K |
| - | |
| And I shall find some girl perhaps | O |
| And a better one than you | F |
| With eyes as wise but kindlier | G |
| And lips as soft but true | G |
| And I daresay she will do | G |
