The Old Country

Hey, you old man sittin' by the lonesome road

It's 'bout time you're quittin' life's old tiresome load

You're so sad and lonely, got no family

Just an old man from some old country

You ain't sired no children, ain't none by your side

You left all your women, ain't you satisfied?

Don't just sit there clingin' to a memory

Of a love left in some old country

Don't nobody need you, old man, 'cause nobody calls your name

Nobody, not even a whisper, what a doggone shame

So the cold grim reaper has no sympathy

You won' see your homeland, 'cept through me
