DITCHES BREAK AGAIN NO MORE

Oh, how well do I remember, when thoughts of bygone days-
How those memories are bringing ever near,
When I sit and muse and ponder, I feel somewhat amazed
As those memories are ringing in my ears.

'Tis the song and the prayer of the people:
Ditches, ditches, break again no more;
Many times we have mended places in which you broke before.
O, ditches, break that way no more.

I remember when my father, returning home at night,
And my mother greets him at the door;
I can see her old long dresses a dragging on the floor;
O, dresses, drag that way no more.

You can see my mother old and weary,
With her dresses dragging on the floor;
Many days she dragged those dresses 'round the cabin door;
O, dresses, drag that way no more.
