OLD GRIMES' CELLAR BOOR 
How oft we talk of childhood joys, Of tricks we used to play, While playing hookey from the school. All the livelong day; And, oh! my eyes, how I have longed For those bright days of yore, When Sallie Brown and I slid down Old Grimes' cellar door. 
Chorus. Oh! I would give all my greenbacks For those bright days or yore, When Sallie Brown and I slid down Old Grimes' cellar door. 
Some boys would stealing apples go While others used to stray Down on the docks where sugar casks In rows together lay; But Sal and I would seek the spot So dear to us of yore 1 And side by side together slide Down old Grimes cellar door.-Chorus, 
But, alas! a change came o'er the scene. When poor old Grimsey died; His son removed the cellar door On which we used to slide; Our mother they were glad of it. For our pantaloons we tore; They had to be half-soled and heeled. From sliding on the door.-Chorus. 
One day the old man fell asleep Upon his cellar door. The boys all came to take a peep, And hear him loudly snore; They tickled his nose with feather and straw. And laughed till their sides was sore; The old man awoke with a loud bawl haw! And slid down on his own cellar door.-Chorus.
