George Duplessis - Growing Old Together

This is an original song composed by George for his wife. It was perhaps the single most popular song on Louise Manny's radio show in the 1940s and 1950s: folks around the Miramichi loved requesting it for anniversaries and so on.

Lyrics as transcribed from this recording:Now we're growing old together wife,Our hair is silvering fast,And our ills on earth will soon be o'er,And all cares will soon be passed.For as we helped each other wife,Through rough and stormy weather,For our ills on earth will soon be o'er,For we're growing old together.Oh, it's well do I remember, dear wife,where we knelt with man and bride [?],In a quiet little village church,Where I claimed you as my bride.<BR>Your golden hair were hanging down,<BR>On your neck as bright as the sun,<BR>Now, our ills on earth will soon be o'er,<BR>And all cares will soon be done.<BR><BR>For as we helped each other wife,<BR>Through rough and stormy weather,<BR>For our ills on earth will soon be o'er,<BR>For we're growing old together.

<BR>This song is sung a cappella. The talks about an old couple who s ills on Earth will soon be o er  and are growing old together. Original song by George E. Duplessis.
