Old Folks - Etta Jones[00:00:00]

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

Everyone knows him as old folks[00:00:13]

Like the seasons he comes and he'll go[00:00:21]

Just as free as a bird and as good as his word[00:00:29]

That's why everybody loves him so[00:00:38]

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee[00:00:45]

Tucks his napkin up under his chin[00:00:53]

And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow hits right[00:01:01]

But you needn't be ashamed of him[00:01:09]

In the evenings after supper[00:01:18]

What stories he tells[00:01:26]

How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day[00:01:33]

You know I know that one so well[00:01:42]

One thing we don't know about old folks[00:01:49]

Did he fight for the blue or the gray[00:01:56]

But he's so democratic and so diplomatic[00:02:04]

We always let him have his way[00:02:13]

In the evenings after supper[00:02:51]

What stories he tells[00:03:00]

How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day[00:03:08]

Yes I know that one so well[00:03:17]

Some day there will be no more old folks[00:03:24]

What a lonely old world this will be[00:03:32]

Children's voices at play will be still fonding[00:03:39]

The day they take old folks away[00:03:49]
