Lyrics

Hey you old man sittin' By the lonesome road It's 'bout time you're quittin' Life's old tiresome load You're so sad and lonely Got no family Just an old man from Some old country You ain't sired no chillen' Ain't none by your side You left all your women Ain't you satisfied Don't just sit there clingin' To a memory Of the love left in Some old country Don't nobody need you old man 'Cause nobody calls your name Nobody's gonna whisper What a doggone shame So the cold grim reaper Has no sympathy You won't see your homeland 'cept through me
