Extra Information | A humorous song about an old woman reminiscing about good her young days were. According to the composer's introduction on a 1929 Columbia record: "This is a sort-of dirge of those good old days everyone talks about, and nobody wants." When this song was written, this meant mid-Victorian years, nearly 150 years ago! |
