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.
