I used to sing a song with this title in the mid seventies, but a completely different song. It was recorded by Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon band, does anyone else remember that one?

The Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus sings this song as part of their training chorus. I learned it back in 1992. Its been a great 18 years since then and I would every now and then sing it to myself.

Sorry folks - the one I was thinking of has that line at the end of the verse, but is in fact called, "Legacy."

Isn't it amazing? All of us "old farts" remember this song! I learned it in 4th grade from my Music teacher, Mr. Zimmerman. (yes, THAT Zimmerman!) I'll never forget this one, as well as "The Sun is a Very Magic Fellow" (or whatever it's called) and "Mr. Tambourine Man", which he played for us, telling us that it was a song his brother wrote and recorded. Who knew? We were just 4th graders!

I remember this song, too, from 4th grade. Not sure what the title is - On My Way or I May Not Pass This Way Again. Something like that. This is what I remember:
I'm on my way to find a friend
And I may not pass this way again
So let's go build the bridges mister
Let's go run the ridges sister
Come along stranger come along friend
I may not pass this way again

I'm on my way to find a friend
And I may not pass this way again
So let's go climb a mountain mister
Drink from a bubblin' fountain sister
Come along stranger come along friend
I may not pass this way again

I'm on my way to find a friend
And I may not pass this way again
So let's go something something mister
Let's go pick the flowers sister
Come along stranger come along friend
I may not pass this way again

Can you stand yet another song with a similar title and theme?


I'LL NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN
Written by Dale Parker
As recorded by Slim Whitman

When trav'ling down the road of time,
There's no turning back along the way,
For each minute is a mile
That keeps passing all the while
As we leave the land of yesterday.

CHORUS: I'll never pass this way again
As I travel to my journey's end.
May I leave each precious mile
With some kindness and a smile.
Oh, I'll never pass this way again.

A word of kindness now and then
Makes our burdens lighter, you will find,
But each minute spent in haste
Makes us sixty seconds late
Finding happiness and peace of mind. CHORUS TWICE.

PASSING BY (I MAY NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN)
As recorded by Roberta Sherwood

I may never pass this way again,
So let me do (oh, let me do)
What I can (what I can)
To help my fellow man.
Give me strength to help my neighbors one and all,
Whether their burden be large or small (be large or small).

May I never be blind to the sorrow in their eyes.
Let me do (oh, let me do)
A little good (a little good)
Before I say my goodbyes.

I may never pass this way again,
So let me do (oh, let me do)
What I can (what I can)
To help my fellow man.
Help me spread a little sunshine here and there.
Dear Lord, that's just about the jest(?) of a lonely girl's prayer.
