《Old Folks》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Folks - Ernestine Anderson

[00:00:15] Everyone knows him as old folks

[00:00:24] Like the seasons he'll come and he'll go

[00:00:32] Just as free as a bird

[00:00:36] And as good as his word

[00:00:40] That's why everybody loves him so

[00:00:47] Always leaving his spoon in his coffee

[00:00:57] Tucks his napkin up under his chin

[00:01:04] And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow

[00:01:11] Hits right

[00:01:14] But you needn't be ashamed of him

[00:01:21] In the evenings after supper

[00:01:31] What stories he tells

[00:01:37] How he held his speech

[00:01:40] At Gettysburg for Lincoln that day

[00:01:47] You know I know that one so well

[00:01:55] We don't know understand about old folks

[00:02:02] Did he fight for the blue or the gray

[00:02:11] But he's so democratic and so diplomatic

[00:02:21] We always let him have his way

[00:06:18] Some day there gona be no more old folks

[00:06:27] What a lonely old world this will be

[00:06:33] Children's voices

[00:06:35] At play be still for one day

[00:06:46] The day they day take old folks away
