Oh pal I'm so blue since you left me
Life's been a burden to dear
I wonder old pal if you miss me
I wonder if you miss me
Does your memory stray to a yesterday
And picture two hearts that were light and gay
Won't you come back for I still love you
My old pal of yesterday
At twilight when the shadows are falling
At the close of a long weary day
I fancy I hear a voice calling
It's my old pal of yesterday
* Refrain
When the whippoorwill calls from the wildwood
To his mate who's drifted away
My heart sadly yearns for my childhood
And my old pal of yesterday
* Refrain
