Old Country |
| Through the years you wasted |
| I waited patiently |
| While the joys you tasted |
| Not a word from me Now that age is creeping |
| Cross your pale gray brow |
| T’aint no use in weeping |
| It’s too late now |
| Hey you old man sitting |
| By the lonesome road |
| It’s about time you’re quitting |
| Life’s old tiresome mode |
| You’re so sad and lonely |
| Got no family |
| Just an old man from some old country |
| You ain’t sired no chillun' |
| Ain’t none by your side |
| You left all your women |
| Whooo ain’t you satisfied |
| Don’t just sit there clinging to a memory |
| Of a love left in some old country |
| No nobody needs you old man |
| 'cause nobody calls your name |
| And nobody even whispers |
| Oh what a doggone shame |
| So the cold grim reaper |
| Has no sympathy |
| You won’t see your homeland |
| 'cept through me You won’t see your homeland |
| 'cept through me Stop crying |
| Age is creeping |
| You won’t see your homeland |
| 'cept through me |
