Old Folks - Charlie Parker (查理·帕克)[00:00:00]

Written by：Dedette Lee Hill/Willard Robinson[00:00:06]

Everyone knows him as old folks[00:00:12]

Like the seasons he comes and he'll go[00:00:17]

Just as free as a bird[00:00:23]

And as good as his word[00:00:26]

That's why everybody loves him so[00:00:29]

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee[00:00:35]

Tucks his napkin up under his chin[00:00:41]

And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow[00:00:47]

Hits right[00:00:52]

But you needn't be ashamed of him[00:00:53]

One thing we don't know about old folks[00:01:24]

Did he fight for the blue or the gray[00:01:29]

But he's so democratic and so diplomatic[00:01:35]

We always let him have his way[00:01:42]

In the evenings after supper[00:02:36]

What stories she'll tell[00:02:43]

How he held his speech[00:02:49]

At Gettysburg for Lincoln that day[00:02:51]

I know that one so well[00:02:56]

Some day there will be no more old folks[00:03:02]

What a lonely old world this will be[00:03:08]

Children's voices at play will be still fondling[00:03:14]

The day they take old folks away[00:03:20]
