Chorus: Just fifty yearss ago, just fifty years ago~ when the men and boys, and the girls and the toys, they work and they paly In the night and the day, the world and its ways have all turned round, since fifty years ago. The people rode to meetin, in sleds instead of sleighs, and wagons rode as easy as autos nowadays~ The oxen team would dart away, though now they be too slow, For everything has changed so much since fifty years ago. The girls took music lessons upon the spinning wheel and practiced late and early on spindle swift and reel The boys would ride the horse to mill a dozen miles or so And hurry off before twas day, just fifty years ago. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
