[00:00.00]Old Folks (Take 6 / Complete) - Charlie Parker
[00:06.34]Written by：Robison Willard/Hill Dedette Lee
[00:12.69]Everyone knows him as old folks
[00:17.76]Like the seasons he comes and he'll go
[00:23.75]Just as free as a bird
[00:27.33]And as good as his word
[00:30.29]That's why everybody loves him so
[00:36.59]Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
[00:42.19]Tucks his napkin up under his chin
[00:48.29]And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow
[00:52.89]Hits right
[00:54.73]But you needn't be ashamed of him
[01:26.13]One thing we don't know about old folks
[01:30.68]Did he fight for the blue or the gray
[01:36.44]But he's so democratic and so diplomatic
[01:43.43]We always let him have his way
[02:37.97]In the evenings after supper
[02:43.61]What stories he tells
[02:50.35]How he held his speech
[02:51.86]At Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
[02:57.21]I know that one so well
[03:02.95]Some day there will be no more old folks
[03:08.89]What a lonely old world this will be
[03:15.09]Children's voices at play will be still fonding
[03:21.25]The day they take old folks away
