[Intro]
E A E B7

[Verse 1]
E A E
How well I remember when I was a boy,
B7
We lived in the old-fashioned home;
E A E
The chimney was deep, and the stone hearth was broad,
B7 E
The fire-dogs how brightly they shone.
E A E
The spirit of mischief seemed ever in play;
E B7
We tried to keep still, but in vain;
E A E
The signal for quiet I ne'er shall forget-
E B7 E
The thump of the old hick'ry cane.

[Chorus]
A E
The old hick'ry cane, the old hick'ry cane,
B7
The cane that is knotty and worn;
E A B7
Our father's companion, the staff of his Eye
E B7 E
Its absence he ne'er could have borne

[Instrumental]
E A E B7 E A E B7 E

[Verse 1]
E A E
Twas pleasant when living far out on the farm;
B7
How welcome the old dinner-horn;
E A E
The long winter evenings brought cider and fruit.
B7 E
And popping of chestnuts and corn.
E A E
We thought it a treat when, with hand on his cane.
E B7
Our father a story would tell;
E A E
Each eye would be bent on his good-natured face;
E
Ah! me, I remember it well.

[Chorus]
A E
The old hick'ry cane, the old hick'ry cane,
B7
The cane that is knotty and worn;
E A B7
Our father's companion, the staff of his Eye
E B7 E
Its absence he ne'er could have borne.

[Instrumental]
E A E B7 E A E B7 E

[Verse 3]
E A E
The high-backed, old arm-chair looks silent and lone;
B7
His Bible is lying there still.
E A E
For time laid the snows of old age on his head,
B7 E
And bent the tall form to his will.
E A E
A niche in the corner still holds the old cane;
E B7
The hand that caressed it is cold;
E A B
We laid him to rest, but, still, ever we keep
E B7 E
The cane that is knotty and old.

[Chorus]
A E
The old hick'ry cane, the old hick'ry cane,
B
The cane that is knotty and worn;
E A B
Our father's companion, the staff of his Eye
E B7 E
Its absence he ne'er could have borne.

[Outro]
