The Old Country

The Old Country - Nancy Wilson & Cannonball Adderley

Hey you old man siting by the lonesome road

It's about time your quitting

Life so tired and low

You're so sad and lonely got no family

Just and old man from some old country

You ain't sired no chillen

Ain't nune by your side

You left all your women ain't you satisfied

Don't just sit there clinging to a memory

Of a love left in some old country

Don't nobody need you old man

Cause nobody calls your name

Nobody but a whisper what a dog gone shame

So the cold grim reaper has no sympathy

You won't see your home land

Except through me
