Okay, GREAT to hear those forgotten lines. Thank you, every one. (Those three lines make the song even sweeter.)

Best answer the first one? So many of you knew. Not a matter of timing, not a matter of knowing, but a matter of taking the time to share knowing. I guess to stay honest I should just delete the question.

Answer 1

School days, school days, dear old golden rule days,
Readin' and writin' and 'rithmetic,
Taught to the tune of a hickory stick.
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful, barefoot beau.
You wrote on my slate, "I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids.

Answer 2

School days, school days, dear old golden rule days,
Readin' and writin' and 'rithmetic,
Taught to the tune of a hickory stick.
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful, barefoot beau.
You wrote on my slate, "I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids.

Answer 3

"School days, school days,
Dear old golden rule days,
Reading and writing and 'rithmetic,
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick,
You were my queen in calico,
I was your bashful barefoot beau,
And you wrote on my slate,
"I love you so,"
When we were a couple of kids." *

Answer 4

School Days, School Days

School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate
"I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids

Nothing to do, Nellie Darling
Nothing to do you say
Let's take a trip on memory's ship
Back to the bygone days
Sail to the old village school house
Anchor outside the school door
Look in and see
There's you and there's me
A couple of kids once more

School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate
"I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids

'Member the hill
Nellie Darling
And the oak tree
That grew on its brow
They've built forty stories
Upon that old hill
And the oak's an old chestnut now
'Member the meadows
So green, dear
So fragrant with clover and maize
Into new city lots
And preferred business plots
They've cut them up
Since those days

School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days.
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate
"I love you, so"
When we were a couple of kids

When we were a couple 'o kids.
