Bauer's Farm Lyrics

As a boy I used to stay

On that farm miles away

Far out among the clover and the bee

Where the morning glory vines

'Round that trailer double wide

And the red hot rod sat rusting 'neath the tree

We were best friends young and free

Running through the fields of green

With our brothers near to shield us from all harm

There I spent life's golden hours

Running wild among the flowers

In my boyhood weekend days on Bauer's Farm

Now many decades passed

Since we ran through that green grass

Though its memory still hangs on me like a charm

Every old familiar place

Every kind and loving face

Every boyhood weekend day on Bauer's Farm

Then one day as I drew near

That land I loved so dear

T'was a quarry mined and stripped for gravel road

Ten years my best friend's laid

'Neath that pine tree's quiet shade

Like the rusting red hot rod in days of old

We were best friends young and free

Running through the fields of green

With our brothers near to shield us from all harm

There I spent life's golden hours

Running wild among the flowers

In my boyhood weekend days on Bauer's Farm

In my boyhood weekend days on Bauer's Farm
