《Just Plain Folks》歌词

[00:00:00] Just Plain Folks - Tex Morton/Avon Cities Skiffle Group/Fannie Davis/Louis Metcalf

[00:00:06] To a mansion in the city came a couple old and gray

[00:00:14] To meet their son who left them long ago

[00:00:19] He had prospered and grown wealthy

[00:00:23] Since in youth he ran away

[00:00:27] And now his life was one of pomp and show

[00:00:33] But coldly did he greet them for rich friends

[00:00:37] Were by his side

[00:00:40] Who often heard him boast of home so grand

[00:00:46] But the old man sadly looked at him

[00:00:49] And said in modest pride

[00:00:53] As he gently took his dear wife by the hand

[00:00:59] We are just plain folks your mother and me

[00:01:07] Just plain folks like our own folks used to be

[00:01:13] As our presence seems to grieve you

[00:01:16] We will go away and leave you

[00:01:19] For we're sadly out of place here

[00:01:22] 'Cause we're just plain folks

[00:01:42] 'Taint so long ago

[00:01:44] Since you were just a simple country lad

[00:01:49] And did the work that country lads should do

[00:01:55] In those days you never looked with shame

[00:01:59] On mother and old dad

[00:02:02] In fact my boy we both were proud of you

[00:02:09] But something must have changed you

[00:02:12] For your wealth has brought vain pride

[00:02:16] Still riches sometimes take swift wings they say

[00:02:22] But you'll always find a hearty

[00:02:25] Welcome at your parents side

[00:02:29] They will greet you in the same old loving way

[00:02:37] We are just plain folks your mother and me

[00:02:44] Just plain folks like our own folks used to be

[00:02:50] As our presence seems to grieve you

[00:02:54] We will go away and leave you

[00:02:57] For we're sadly out of place here

[00:03:02] 'Cause we're just plain folks
