Just an old man from some— old coun - try.
Of a love left in some— old coun - try.
3rd yerse: (Out chorus)
Don't nobody need you, old man,
*Cause nobody calls your name.
Nobody even whispers.
‘What a dog-gone shame.
So the cold grim reaper
Has no sympathy.
You won't see your homeland
SOLOS ‘Cept through me.
