Recitation The Old Gang’s Gone

The old gang's gone I'm the only one that's left
And I guess that it's about time I move on out myself

Cause there ain't no use in hangin' round a town that's grown so cold
With its used-to-be's and memories it makes a man feel old
My friends have wed and some are dead and some are far away
From the part of town we ran around and the fun of yesterday
The old gang's gone...

Johnny Green's in Jacksonville he's a doctor now you know
And Shaky Sam's in Vietnam he volunteered to go
Cindy lives in Tennessee and Mary moved to Maine
Oh I don't guess I'll ever see the likes of them again
The old gang's gone...
The old gang's gone...
