Good Company (Remastered 2011)

[00:04.17] Take good care of what you've got
[00:07.78] My father said to me
[00:10.21] As he puffed his pipe and baby B
[00:12.97] He dandled on his knee
[00:15.60] Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
[00:18.35] Keep all good company
[00:20.24] Oh, ho, oh, ho
[00:25.55] Take care of those you call your own
[00:28.67] And keep good company
[00:31.37] Soon I grew up and happy too
[00:33.94] My very good friends and me
[00:36.78] We'd play all day with Sally J
[00:39.27] The girl from number four
[00:41.88] Very soon, I begged her
[00:44.23] Won't you keep me company?
[00:46.83] Oh, ho, oh, ho
[00:51.78] Oh, ho, oh, ho
[00:57.06] Come marry me forevermore
[01:00.12] We'll be good company
[01:03.48]
[01:08.07] Now marriage is an institution, sure
[01:13.52] My wife and I, our needs and nothing more
[01:18.16] All my friends by a year
[01:20.91] By and by disappeared
[01:23.67] But we're safe enough behind our door
[01:29.23] I flourished in my humble trade
[01:32.06] My reputation grew
[01:34.66] The work devoured my waking hours
[01:37.41] But when my time was through
[01:39.79] Reward of all my efforts
[01:42.03] My own limited company
[01:45.27]
[01:59.82] I hardly noticed Sally, as we parted company
[02:05.17]
[02:10.07] All through the years, in the end, it appears
[02:16.72] There was never really anyone, but me
[02:22.64] Now I'm old, I puff my pipe
[02:25.44] But no one's there to see
[02:28.03] I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
[02:32.99] Take care of those you call your own (Own, own)
[02:37.20] And keep good company
[02:37.87]
