The Old School Teacher
Where is my old school teacher?
I don't remember her name
With a dunce cap, I was always her feature
I loved her just the same
She stood by through my childhood
Like small town school teachers do
At some little school house here
In the wild wood
They taught men like Lincoln too
One day I tearfully told her my
Mother expects me to pass
Then she let me look over the shoulder
Of the brightest girl in the class
Wish I knew how to reach her
I'd write a letter and say
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher
I'd be a better man today
Wish I knew how to reach her
I'd write a letter and say
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher
I'd be a better man today
