Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way
In this great future, you can't forget your past

'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears

And then Georgie would make the fire lights
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone, I mean
Everything's gonna be all right
