[00:00.00]Old Folks - Charlie Parker
[00:05.99]Written by：Robison Willard/Hill Dedette Lee
[00:11.99]Everyone knows him as old folks
[00:16.87]Like the seasons he comes and he'll go
[00:22.74]Just as free as a bird
[00:26.36]And as good as his word
[00:29.37]That's why everybody loves him so
[00:35.27]Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
[00:40.72]Tucks his napkin up under his chin
[00:46.77]And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow
[00:51.47]Hits right
[00:52.99]But you needn't be ashamed of him
[01:24.29]One thing we don't know about old folks
[01:28.12]Did he fight for the blue or the gray
[01:33.84]But he's so democratic and so diplomatic
[01:40.44]We always let him have his way
[02:33.85]In the evenings after supper
[02:39.11]What stories she'll tell
[02:45.46]How he held his speech
[02:46.93]At Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
[02:52.29]I know that one so well
[02:57.79]Some day there will be no more old folks
[03:03.54]What a lonely old world this will be
[03:09.54]Children's voices at play will be still fonding
[03:15.74]The day they take old folks away
