Lyrics
But he s so democratic and so diplomatic, i know that one so well
The day they take old folks away, but he s so democratic and so diplomatic Etta, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
in the evenings after supper
Like the seasons he comes and he ll go just as free as a bird and as good as his word, what stories he tells
you know i know that one so well
What a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding, in the evenings after supper
You know i know that one so well, some day there will be no more old folks Jones, tucks his napkin up under his chin
In the evenings after supper, one thing we don t know about old folks
what stories he tells
in the evenings after supper
And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow, what stories he tells
You know i know that one so well, what stories he tells Old, but he s so democratic and so diplomatic
That s why everybody loves him so always leaving his spoon in his coffee, but he s so democratic and so diplomatic Old, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
what stories he tells
but he s so democratic and so diplomatic
In the evenings after supper, tucks his napkin up under his chin, that s why everybody loves him so always leaving his spoon in his coffee
In the evenings after supper, but you needn t be ashamed of him Etta, in the evenings after supper
some day there will be no more old folks
How he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day, but he s so democratic and so diplomatic
Tucks his napkin up under his chin, everyone knows him as old folks Old, in the evenings after supper
Some day there will be no more old folks, you know i know that one so well
in the evenings after supper
how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
I know that one so well, did he fight for the blue or the gray
But he s so democratic and so diplomatic, in the evenings after supper
We always let him have his way, did he fight for the blue or the gray, i know that one so well
In the evenings after supper, some day there will be no more old folks
and his own corn cob pipe is so mellow
in the evenings after supper
We always let him have his way, did he fight for the blue or the gray
What stories he tells, what a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding
The day they take old folks away, we always let him have his way
We always let him have his way, everyone knows him as old folks, what a lonely old world this will be children s voices at play will be still fonding
In the evenings after supper, did he fight for the blue or the gray Jones, how he held his speech at gettysburg for lincoln that day
in the evenings after supper
in the evenings after supper
that s why everybody loves him so always leaving his spoon in his coffee
