Subject: Lyr Add: WILL YOU LOVE ME WHEN I'M OLD AND FEEBLE?
Will You Love me when I'm old and feeble is a very popular song out of Newfoundland and widley performed in the Maritime Provinces of Canada. I do a version recorded by a Newfoundland Artist "Uncle George" He also has a casset tape out on it. Possibly Harry Hibbs from Newfoundland may have recorded it also. Here is the version as I perform it.

WILL YOU LOVE ME WHEN I'M OLD AND FEEBLE?

(Chorus)
             Will you love me when I'm old and feeble?
               Will you love me when I'm old and Grey?
                Will this heart of mine grow tired and weary?
                Will you love me as you do today?

(Chorus)

When our children all grow up and leave us
To have sweet families of their own
Will you still be happy with me darling?
Will you still be happy in our home?

(Chorus)

When the shades of life begin to lower
And fate decendes upon our home
With greying hair and hands that tremble
Will all your love still be my own?

(Chorus)


Usually sang in Gmaj or Amaj to accomodate the very popular diatonic accordion in Newfoundland music tuned to AD of GC
