At twilight with shadows a-falling
  At the close of a long lonely day
  I fancy I hear a voice calling
  It's my ole pal of yesterday
  
  Ole pal, I'm so blue since you left me
  Life's been all bluer than to bear
  I wonder, ole pal, if you miss me
  I wonder if you still care
  
  Does your memory stray to yesterday
  And picture two hearts that were aline and gay
  Won't you come back, for I still love you
  You're my ole pal of yesterday
  
  Ole pal, ole pal, ole pal, don't you know I miss you
  Yeah, I miss you all the time you're away
  Won't you come back, for I still love you
  Yeah, you're my ole pal of yesterday
