Old Folks - Charlie Parker (查理·帕克)-歌词

Old Folks - Charlie Parker (查理·帕克)

Written by:Dedette Lee Hill/Willard Robinson

Everyone knows him as old folks

Like the seasons he comes and he'll go

Just as free as a bird

And as good as his word

That's why everybody loves him so

Always leaving his spoon in his coffee

Tucks his napkin up under his chin

And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow

Hits right

But you needn't be ashamed of him

One thing we don't know about old folks

Did he fight for the blue or the gray

But he's so democratic and so diplomatic

We always let him have his way

In the evenings after supper

What stories she'll tell

How he held his speech

At Gettysburg for Lincoln that day

I know that one so well

Some day there will be no more old folks

What a lonely old world this will be

Children's voices at play will be still fondling

The day they take old folks away
