Old Ties
by Uncle Dave Macon
on Classic Sides 1924-1938 (2004), 1926-1939 "Wait 'Till The Clouds Roll By" (1975), Go Long Mule (1994)
Fare thee well old ties now we're over
I had loved thee for many a year
May the waters of time deeply cover
All our feelings that once was so dear

Vain, vain are the vows we have plighted
I would that we'd never had met
Love's a flower that blooms to be blighted
And the star of hope arose but to set

Do not think of me then too unkindly
Nor cherish one ill thought for me
I had loved thee, but loved thee too blindly
And now through my blindness I see

Vain, vain are the vows we have plighted
I would that we'd never had met
Love's a flower that blooms to be blighted
And the star of hope arose but to set

Aye forever you give to another
All the charms that were once fondly mine
Will you think of me then as a brother
And as a sister, the love shall be thine

Vain, vain are the vows we have plighted
I would that we'd never had met
Love's a flower that blooms to be blighted
And the star of hope arose but to set
