Just Plain Old Folks
(Kevin Becker (C) 1985)
CHO: We ain't city, we ain't pretty
Bothered nor provoked
We're all for one and we sing for fun
We're just plain old folks
1. And we'll set for hours telling stories
That only a fool would believe
How we'll travel 'round the world
From a town we'll never leave
And how some day we'll all be rich
When progress steals our farms
Whenever wealthy people frown
Just say you meant no harm
2. Grab the banjo, get the guitar
Have a good old time
Hold the hand of the lady or man
Who makes you feel so fine
And sing a song of long ago
Or make one up brand new
Join the chorus, SINGOUT! loud
Express your point of view
3. Night is fading, morning's breaking
Our songs and stories told
Sleepy hours few and chores to do
As the new day now unfolds
But I'm sure glad we spent this time
To laugh and sing our songs
So next time bring that mandolin
And join our sing-along
