What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Everyone knows him as old folks
2
Like the seasons he comes and he'll go
3
Just as free as a bird and as good as his word
4
That's why everybody loves him so
5
Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
6
Tucks his napkin up under his chin
7
And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow, hits right
8
But you needn't be ashamed of him
9
In the evenings after supper
10
What stories he tells
11
How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
12
You know I know that one so well
13
One thing we don't know about old folks
14
Did he fight for the blue or the gray?
15
But he's so democratic and so diplomatic
16
We always let him have his way
17
In the evenings after supper
18
What stories he tells
19
How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
20
Yes, I know that one so well
21
Some day there will be no more old folks
22
What a lonely old world this will be
23
Children's voices at play will be still fonding
24
The day they take old folks away
