INTRO: Bb Only F Old And C7 In The F Way.
(SPOKEN)
You know, many times I sat alone here lately, and
Well, I find my mind kinda wandering back in dreams
Yes, I dream about the days that have already passed and gone
Days that, 'course - will never return
I dream about the days back when we'as a-bringin' up our fam'ly
And I worked hard for 'em - yes - I had to work hard ever' day
Each night the kids would come to me - with their little problems
And their little troubles - each one in his own childish way
But now, well, now I'm gettin' old - kinda feeble
And each one of the children - they've gone their own way
And now most of 'em - I guess they
Well, they have children of their own to worry about
So me, I'm just Old And In The Way.
F For many C years, things were F fine
All the C joys of life were F mine
Now at last, I Bb hear 'em F say
Bb Only F Old And C In The F Way.
TAG: Bb Only F Old And C In The F Way.
