Subject: Lyr Add: THAT OLD GANG OF MINE (Rose, Dixon...)
Straight from my 78 vault.

THAT OLD GANG OF MINE - Shannon Four
Words by Billy Rose and Mort Dixon. Music by Ray Henderson. 1923

I've got a longing way down in my heart,
For that old gang that has drifted apart.
They were the best pals that I ever had.
I never thought that I'd want them so bad.

Last night I strolled to that old neighborhood,
There on that corner I silently stood.
I felt so blue as the crowds hurried by,
Nobody knew how I wanted to cry.
