Old Folks - Charlie Parker (查理·帕克)[00:00:03]

Written by：Robison Willard/Hill Dedette Lee[00:00:05]

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[00:00:27]

That's why everybody loves him so[00:00:30]

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee[00:00:36]

Tucks his napkin up under his chin[00:00:42]

And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow[00:00:48]

Hits right[00:00:52]

But you needn't be ashamed of him[00:00:54]

One thing we don't know about old folks[00:01:26]

Did he fight for the blue or the gray[00:01:30]

But he's so democratic and so diplomatic[00:01:36]

We always let him have his way[00:01:43]

In the evenings after supper[00:02:37]

What stories he tells[00:02:43]

How he held his speech[00:02:50]

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

I know that one so well[00:02:57]

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 fonding[00:03:15]

The day they take old folks away[00:03:21]
