Then came the order from Captain Frank ?Come on men, lower the plank.? Then he came over and took my arm And smiling led me to the old platform My friends were waiting, and I could see That they were happy as they could be We soon reached the entrance of Mon Sccour And waiting to greet me at its friendly door Was dear Aunt Lize and Uncle Joe Galatea and cousin Flo The girls were there and we talked and planned For all the parties that were on hand This went on far into the night For we were young and our hearts were light When suddenly someone said ?It?s getting late, belter get into bed" So we piled into bed. and in seconds it seems Six happy girls were knee-dcep in dreams I could write on for ever more Of the wonderful days spent at Mon Secour TO MY COTTAGE When you come to the crossroad \Vvfl' Follow the path where the tall pines grow And before you know you will reach the cofof my dreams Its snowy white, and its windows gleam Behind its doors are a million dreams Tho? its very small, still there?s room for all In the cot of my dreams Oft when I sit reminiscing at the close of the day I'm fancy I seem to see, the boys that I love at play I wouldn?t change my cot, for the palace of a king For nobody knows any more than me What a fond memory can bring LET ME BE GLAD Let me be glad, as I go back across the years Filled with their many joys, thru many tears The rock paths, the meadows green Life?s storms, and strife life?s days serene O, memories that fill my heart, you will be always mine Until one fall the parting time Then I hope you will requent, the places that in life. I spent You are as priceless as a jewel Bestowed by God -upon a fool
