《Old Folks》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Folks - Jack Teagarden/Don Goldie

[00:00:01] Written by：Robison Willard/Hill Dedette Lee

[00:00:10] Everyone knows him as old folks

[00:00:15] Like the seasons he comes and he'll go

[00:00:21] Just as free as a bird and as good as his word

[00:00:26] That's why everybody loves him so

[00:00:31] Always leaving his spoon in his coffee

[00:00:37] Tucks his napkin up under his chin

[00:00:42] And that yellow pipe is so mellow hits right

[00:00:48] But you needn't be ashamed of him

[00:00:53] In the evenings after supper

[00:00:58] What stories he would tell

[00:01:03] How he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day

[00:01:10] I know that one so well

[00:01:14] But I don't understand about old folks

[00:01:20] Did he fight for the blue or the gray

[00:01:25] But he's so democratic and so diplomatic

[00:01:31] You'll never come right and see
