Will Cobb and Gus Edwards, "School Days"
Misheard Lyrics:
School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
Reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic
Talk to the tune of a hick'ry stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful, barefoot beau
You rode on my sleigh. I love you, Joe.
When we were a couple o' kids
Original Lyrics:
School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
'Reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hick'ry stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful, barefoot beau
You wrote on my slate, "I Love You Joe"
When we were a couple o' kids
Editor's note: Song was originally written in 1907 by Will Cobb and Gus Edwards; recorded by several different people over the years, first by Byron G. Harlan, then as a duet by Billy Murray and Ada Jones, and later by Tiny Tim. I'm not sure which recording this mishearing came from, so I'm filing it under the original songwriters' names.
