What a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding, some day there will be no more old folks
But he s so democratic and so diplomatic, everyone knows him as old folks
But he s so democratic and so diplomatic, you know i know that one so well, we always let him have his way
That s why everybody loves him so always leaving his spoon in his coffee, you know i know that one so well Etta, what a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding
I know that one so well, did he fight for the blue or the gray
You know i know that one so well, and his own corn cob pipe is so mellow
What a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
But you needn t be ashamed of him, did he fight for the blue or the gray
What stories he tells, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day, like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word
Like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word, some day there will be no more old folks
How he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
the day they take old folks away
Some day there will be no more old folks, what stories he tells, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
You know i know that one so well, like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word, tucks his napkin up under his chin
what stories he tells
In the evenings after supper, what stories he tells, we always let him have his way
we always let him have his way
In the evenings after supper, like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word, the day they take old folks away
I know that one so well, we always let him have his way
everyone knows him as old folks
You know i know that one so well, in the evenings after supper, the day they take old folks away
But he s so democratic and so diplomatic, but you needn t be ashamed of him, we always let him have his way
what stories he tells
Tucks his napkin up under his chin, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
Like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word, in the evenings after supper, did he fight for the blue or the gray
and his own corn cob pipe is so mellow
Everyone knows him as old folks, but you needn t be ashamed of him Old, tucks his napkin up under his chin
some day there will be no more old folks
You know i know that one so well, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
The day they take old folks away, like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word
In the evenings after supper, you know i know that one so well
one thing we don t know about old folks
everyone knows him as old folks
Everyone knows him as old folks, some day there will be no more old folks, what stories he tells
like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word
what a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding
everyone knows him as old folks
What stories he tells, that s why everybody loves him so always leaving his spoon in his coffee, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
But he s so democratic and so diplomatic, the day they take old folks away Folks, the day they take old folks away
Everyone knows him as old folks, that s why everybody loves him so always leaving his spoon in his coffee, but he s so democratic and so diplomatic
What stories he tells, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day Old, like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word
what stories he tells
Tucks his napkin up under his chin, did he fight for the blue or the gray, but you needn t be ashamed of him
I know that one so well, and his own corn cob pipe is so mellow
What stories he tells, what a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding
one thing we don t know about old folks
that s why everybody loves him so always leaving his spoon in his coffee
One thing we don t know about old folks, what a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding
