Where is my old school teacher? I don't remember her name
With a dunce cap, I was always her feature, I loved her just the same
She stood by through my childhood, like small town school teachers do
At some little school house here in the wild wood, they taught men like Lincoln too
One day I tearfully told her my mother expects me to pa**
Then she let me look over the shoulder of the brightest girl in the cla**
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher, I'd be a better man today
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher, I'd be a better man today
