   childhood
   Who assembled each night near a score
   Round Dan Murphy's shop and how often I sat
   On the stone that stood outside his door.
   Chorus
   Those days in my heart I will cherish
   Contented although we were poor
   And the songs that were sung in the days I was young
   On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door.
   II
   When days work was over we'd meet there
   In the Winter and Summer the same.
   The boys and the girls all together
   Then would join in some innocent game
   Dan Murphy would bring down the fiddle
   While his daughters looked after the store
