Stitch In Time

I sat last night watching you

Captivate my oldest daughter

Teaching the secret trade 

Of a machine made by Singer

Like a stitch in time

Things I know to be true

Passed down the line

Given to me by you

I asked my little girl

When she becomes a lady

   Would she pass on 

      The secrets of opossum gravy

So listen good my young one

Got to know it right, Got to make it last

Very few seem to know 

The old ways are going fast

Like a stitch in time

These things I know to be true

Passed down the line 

Given to me by you
