[00:00.00]Old Folks (Take 9 / Master) - Charlie Parker
[00:06.25]Written by：Robison Willard/Hill Dedette Lee
[00:12.51]Everyone knows him as old folks
[00:17.58]Like the seasons he comes and he'll go
[00:23.57]Just as free as a bird
[00:27.15]And as good as his word
[00:30.11]That's why everybody loves him so
[00:36.41]Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
[00:42.02]Tucks his napkin up under his chin
[00:48.12]And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow
[00:52.72]Hits right
[00:54.56]But you needn't be ashamed of him
[01:25.96]One thing we don't know about old folks
[01:30.51]Did he fight for the blue or the gray
[01:36.27]But he's so democratic and so diplomatic
[01:43.26]We always let him have his way
[02:37.80]In the evenings after supper
[02:43.44]What stories he tells
[02:50.18]How he held his speech
[02:51.69]At Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
[02:57.04]I know that one so well
[03:02.78]Some day there will be no more old folks
[03:08.72]What a lonely old world this will be
[03:14.92]Children's voices at play will be still fonding
[03:21.08]The day they take old folks away
