Intro:
(X2)
We had an a-partment in the city,
me and Lo-retta liked living there.
Well, it's been years since the kids have grown, a life of their own left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Ko-rean war, and I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
Ya know that old trees just grow stronger, and old rivers grow wilder every day.
Old people just grow lonesome, waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hel-lo."
Instrumental Verse
Me and Lo-retta, we don't talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
