That Autograph Album of Mine. Copyright, 1893, by F. M. Paine Words by Jere O'Halloran. Music by Francis Marsena 
I've a little old autograph album, 'Tis filled now with names dear to me; Some of them friends of my childhood, Ever cherished in dear memory. It. recalls now fond visions of pleasure, From that home midst the forests of pine; 'Tis a dear little hook that I treasure, That autograph album of mine. 
Refrain. That autograph album of mine is a treasure I hold most divine; 'Tis dear to my heart, and I never could part with that autograph album of mine. 
In that book I find sweet, pretty verses, And mottoes and sentiments true, I remember one dear little stanza By a young village bard whom I knew. Home is home, and no matter how humble, There's no place on earth half so fine: 'Twas home, tho' the thatched roof might tumble, Wrote the hard in that album of mine.-Refrain. 
Then the names of my father and mother And brother and sister appear;! And a sketch of the old rustic homestead, And scenes of those dear by-gone years, Then a name I see scrawled in my album, Who in youth clung to me like a vine; Time and fate changes all, but the past I recall in that autograph album of mine. Refrain.
