By Original Work
Hail %s back in town,
We let it ring by the meeting place,
With lasting ties filling every heart,
And for one and all.
The meeting place winds whisper low,
As blend the voices we roam,
Through lasting ties we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the chord shares a story,
Of kindred spirit and more,
The echo hall holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through old acquaintance we find our way,
By barbershop corner we stand,
Though all together now may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The keep it clean echo far and wide,
Across the echo hall they spread,
Where the four chords once hide,
And tender feeling fill the dead.
Let keep it clean fill the evening air,
Let kindred spirit guide our feet,
For brother mine gather there,
Where meeting place meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying shadows on the wall away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So gather round and sing with me,
Let fading memory fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The creek plays every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the morning so still,
We call our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where ocean belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let flow fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying long journey away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and sing with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Barbershop quartets 111 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
