Songtexte The Old Country (with Cannonball Adderley) - Nancy Wilson / Cannonball Adderley

Hey, you old man
Sittin′ by the lonesome road
It's about time you′re quittin'
Livin' so thresome load
You′re so sad and lonely
Got no family
Just an old man
From some old country
You ain′t sided no children
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
Don't nobody need you old man
Cause nobody called your name
Nobody even whispers
What a doggoned shame
So the cold grin reaper
Has no sympathy
You won′t see a homeland
Cept through me.
