Old Folks - Mildred Bailey & Her Orchestra[00:00:00]

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

Everyone knows him as old folks[00:00:17]

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[00:00:36]

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

And his yellow cob pipe is so mellow hits right[00:00:46]

But you needn't be ashamed of him[00:00:51]

In the evenings after supper[00:00:56]

What stories he would tell[00:01:01]

How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day[00:01:05]

I know that one so well[00:01:11]

Don't quite understand about old folks[00:01:16]

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

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

We always let him have his way[00:01:31]

Then he missed the late train at the station[00:01:55]

Every friday he'll go fishing[00:02:14]

We down on father's lake[00:02:20]

But he only hooks a perch or two[00:02:24]

The whale got away[00:02:27]

So we warm up the steak[00:02:31]

Or someday there'll be no more old folks[00:02:34]

What a lonely old town this will be[00:02:40]

Children's voice at play will be still for a day[00:02:45]

The day that they take old folks away[00:02:50]
