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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Were by his side[00:00:37]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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