Lyrics
Composed and performed by Richard “Nappy” Mayers
Bring back the old time days
Bring back them old time ways
I know everything must change
But I still love the old time days
Used to be everyone could afford to live right
Just to feel nice, didn’t need no Paradise
Now open your eyes, look around
Smoke in the city, and what was pretty,
Crying out for sympathy
So bring back the old time days
Bring back them old time ways
I know everything must change
But I still love the old time days
Used to be everyone cared for each other
Lived like brothers, repected one another
In times gone by we used to share
Together we’d make do and if I draw a sou-sou
What was mine was yours too.
I know dem days done pass and gone
And I know that life must carry on
But if I must join in with the pack
Then I going back, I going back. Yeah, yeah
Back to the old time days
Back to them old time ways
I know everything must change
But I still love the old time days
Yes, bring back the old time days
Bring back them old time ways
I know everything must change
But I still love the old time days
Uhmmm Bring it back, bring it back
Uhmmm Bring it back, bring it back.
