Old Folks (Remastered 2019)

Old Folks (Remastered 2019) - Jack Teagarden

Written by：Robison Willard/Hill Dedette Lee

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 that yellow pipe is so mellow hits right

But you needn't be ashamed of him

In the evenings after supper

What stories he would tell

How he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day

I know that one so well

But I don't understand about old folks

Did he fight for the blue or the gray

But he's so democratic and so diplomatic

You'll never come right and see
