shirley horn - old country lyrics

[verse 1]
hey, you old man sittin’
by the lonesome road
it’s about 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

[verse 2]
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 a love left in
some old country

[verse 3]
through the years you’ve wasted
i wait patiently
while the joys you’ve tasted
not a word from me
now the age is creepin’
‘cross your cold gray brow
ain’t no use a_weepin’
too late now
[verse 4]
’cause don’t n0body need no man
’cause n0body calls his name
n0body even whispers
what a doggone shame
now the cold grim reaper
has no sympathy
you won’t see your homeland, yeah
‘cept through me
’cause don’t n0body need no old man
’cause n0body calls his name
n0body even whispers
what a doggone shame
now the cold grim reaper
has no sympathy
you won’t see your homeland
‘cept through me

[scatting]

[outro]
thank you
thank you
thank you very much
