Old Folks |
Everybody knows him as old folks |
Like the seasons he comes and he goes |
Just as free as a bird and as good as it were |
That’s why we all love them so |
Always leaving his spoon in his coffee |
Tucks his napkin up under his chin |
And that old corn cob pipe |
Well, It’s so mellow it’s right |
But still you’re not ashamed of him |
Every Friday he goes fishing |
Sown by the lake |
But he only caught a perch or two, a whale got away |
Guess, I’d better warm a steak |
Someday there’s gonna be no more old folks |
What a lonesome old town this would be |
Children’s voices are played |
We’ll be still for a day |
The day they take old folks away |
