It was written around 1895 with the original sheet music being first published in that year with the song being credited to J.P. Dane.
[G]There's a sweet garden spot in our[Am] memory
It's the[D7] place we were born in and[G] reared It's[G] long years ago since we[Am] left it But re[D7]turn there we will if we're[G] spared Our[D] friends and companions of[Em] childhood Would as[A7]semble each night near a[D] score Round[G] Dan Murphy's shop, and how[C] often we[Am] sat On the[D7] stone outside Dan Murphy's[G] door Cho:[G] Those days in our hearts we will[Am] cherish Con[D7]tented although we were[G] poor And the songs that were sung In the[C] days we were young On the[D7] stone outside Dan Murphy's[G] door When our day's work was over we'd meet there In the winter or spring just the same Then the boys and the girls all together Would join in some innocent game Dan Murphy would take down his fiddle While his daughter looked after the store The music did ring and sweet songs we would sing On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door Back again will our thoughts often wander To the scenes of our childhood's home The friends and companions we left there It was poverty caused us to roam Since then in this life we have prospered But still in our hearts we feel sore For memory will fly to those days long gone by And the stone outside Dan Murphy's door |
