D                           A
Miss Bishop, I am ready for school
                               D
Ring the bell, and call us all in
                               A
One room, fifteen desks, and a stool
                                  D
Black board, word cards, light so dim

D                        A
First grade in the front row
                        D
7th and 8th were in the rear
                        A
Study and recite, so it goes
                         D
Learn a little more each year

D                            A
Phonics, to help us read and spell
                                    D
Writing and arithmetic taught with ease
                        A
World places learned so well
                                  D
Big windows looked out to hickory trees

D                     A
Learned what life was about
                      D
Still have many mem- ories
                       A
Just a one room school house
                     D
In among the hickory trees.
