This Old World

 

The last I seen old Farmer Brown, he was hanging from a tree

The last I seen old Farmer Brown, he was looking down at me

And the leaves turn dark when the seasons change

This old world can’t remember his name, that’s a shame

 

The last I seen Miss Maggie Frey, she was marching off to war

The last I seen Miss Maggie Frey, she was walking out my door

And the leaves turn dark when the seasons change

This old world can’t remember her name, that’s a shame

 

The last I seen Blind Jack Dupree, he was singing from a stage

The last I seen Blind Jack Dupree, he had nothing more to say

And the leaves turn dark when the seasons change

This old world won’t remember his name, that’s a shame

 

The last I seen my Uncle John, he was looking back at me

The last I seen my Uncle John, he had nothing more to see

And the leaves turn dark when the seasons change

This old world can’t remember his name, that’s a shame
