Hey you old man sitting By the lonesome road It's about time you're quitting Life's old tiresome mode You're so sad and lonely Got no family Just an old man from some old country
You ain't sired no chillun' Ain't none by your side You left all your women Whooo ain't you satisfied Don't just sit there clinging to a memory Of a love left in some old country
No nobody needs you old man 'cause nobody calls your name And nobody even whispers Oh what a doggone shame So the cold grim reaper Has no sympathy You won't see your homeland 'cept through me You won't see your homeland 'cept through me...
(Originally performed by Dianne Reeves and Nancy Wilson)
