Thread Name: Lyr Req: This Old World
Subject: Please help!! Do you know 'This Old World'?
I know a few words to a song I heard many years ago and I would dearly like to know the name of the song and have a copy of the lyrics. The little bit I know goes:

This old world is full of sorrow Full of sorrow weak and sore If we cherish one another Love will come to you some more

We are children of one father We are brothers and sister too If we.....

That's as much as I know and I'm not certain these words are right. I think it is a traditional English folk song, but I am not sure.

I do hope that someone can help.

Thank you.
