Thinkin’ back to when I was just a little boy
I remember somethin’ that really made me pause
It’s silver roof clearly seen from Grandma’s old front porch
Down the road, around the bend it was
Through the wooden screen door, it beckoned us on in
Past the Pepsi cooler’s where we went
A carousel of comic books, just twelve cents apiece
Pocket change certainly well spent
Burton’s General Store was our favourite place to go
By the jumpin’ Jesus Josie, how we loved it so
Burton’s General Store was our favourite place to be
Everyone would gather to share a memory
Penny candy plentiful, behind the glass display
Blackballs and shoestring licorice
Kawartha ice cream in the freezer, cones were bigger then
Large or small, any way you wish
Further back at the meat counter, were samples we did try
Weiners and balogna slices too
Fresh pig tails for dinner, in pasta sauce they’d go
Simmering away all afternoon
Burton’s General Store was our favourite place to go
By the jumpin’ Jesus Josie, how we loved it so
Burton’s General Store was our favourite place to be
Everyone would gather to share a memory
