Old Folks歌词完整版

[Verse 1

Everyone knows him as "Old Folks "

Like the seasons he'll come and he’ll go

Just as free as a bird and as good as his word

That's why everybody loves him so

[Verse 2

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee

Puts his napkin up under his chin

And that yellow cob pipe, it's so mellow it’s ripe

But you needn't be ashamed of him

[Bridge

In the evening, after supper

What stories he would tell

How he held the speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day

I know that one so well

[Verse 3

Don't quite understand about Old Folk

Did he fight for the blue or the grey?

For he's so diplomatic and so democratic

Wе always let him have his way

[Verse 4

Every Friday hе'll go fishing

Way down on Buzzards Lake

But he only hooks a perch or two, a whale got away

So we warm up the steak

[Verse 5

Oh, someday there'll be no more Old Folks

What a lonely old town this would be

Children's voices at play will be still for a day

The day that they take Old Folks away
