Old Fashioned Love (1924 recording) Lyrics by Alberta Hunter

Alberta Hunter: Complete Recorded Works In Chronological Order Volume 2 (1923-1924)

1924

[Verse: Alberta Hunter]
Most folks nowadays say old-fashioned ways
Should give place to things that are new
But somehow I hold to things that are old
Perhaps it's an old-fashioned view
I love my old books, the corners and nooks
Of my old home and the old friends
Old memories too, one love that is true
Lasting all through life until it ends
[Chorus: Alberta Hunter & Elkins-Payne Jubilee Quartette]
I've got that old-fashioned love in my heart (Yes, in my heart)
And there it shall always remain (Always remain)
My love is like the ivy vine
Clinging little closer all the time
Through the years, joy and tears, just the same
I've got that old-fashioned faith in my heart (Yes, in my heart)
No changes can tear it apart (Tear it apart)
If all the dry land changed to sea
It would never make any change in me
I've got that old-fashioned love in my heart (In my heart)
[Chorus: Alberta Hunter & Elkins-Payne Jubilee Quartette]
I've got that old-fashioned love in my heart
And there it shall always remain
My love is like the ivy vine
Clinging little closer all the time
Through the years, joy and tears, just the same
I've got that old-fashioned faith in my heart (Yes, in my heart)
No changes can tear it apart (Tear it apart)
If all the dry land changed to sea
It would never make any change in me
I've got that old-fashioned love in my heart
