Written by：Etta Jones/Willard Robison/Dedette Lee Hill
Everyone knows him as old folks
大家都知道他是个老人
Like the seasons he comes and he'll go
就像四季更替他来了又去
Just as free as a bird and as good as his word
就像鸟儿一样自由就像他的诺言一样
That's why everybody loves him so
所以大家都那么爱他
Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
总是把勺子落在咖啡里
Tucks his napkin up under his chin
他把纸巾藏在下巴下面
And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow hits right
他自己制作的玉米芯烟管真的好迷人
But you needn't be ashamed of him
但你不必为他感到羞耻
In the evenings after supper
晚上吃完晚饭
What stories he tells
他讲了什么故事
How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
那天他在葛底斯堡为林肯发表演讲
You know I know that one so well
你知道我对这一点了如指掌
One thing we don't know about old folks
关于老年人有一件事我们不知道
Did he fight for the blue or the gray
他是为蓝色还是灰色而战
But he's so democratic and so diplomatic
但他真的好民主好圆滑
We always let him have his way
我们总是让他为所欲为
In the evenings after supper
晚上吃完晚饭
What stories he tells
他讲了什么故事
How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
那天他在葛底斯堡为林肯发表演讲
Yes I know that one so well
没错我了如指掌
Some day there will be no more old folks
总有一天老人会消失
What a lonely old world this will be
这将是一个多么孤独的旧世界
Children's voices at play will be still fonding
玩耍时孩子们的声音依然悦耳动听
The day they take old folks away
他们带走老人的那一天
