Harry Chapin - Old Folkie слова песни
He`s the man with the banjo and the 12-string guitar.And he`s singing us the songs that tell us who we are.When you look in his eyes you know that somebody`s in there.Yeah, he knows where we`re going and where we beenAnd how the fog is gettin` thicker where the future should begin.When you look at his life you know that he`s really been there.Still, what is the name that they`re calling that man?What is the name that they`re calling that man?You know, it`s always the "Old Folkie"They say he`s always bleedin`But whenever somebody`s needing him,He`s the one who cares.It`s always the "Old Folkie"Whenever somethin`s burning,Or a lesson needs some learning,Or a tide that needs some turning,To a better world somewhere,Yeah, the "Old Folkie`s" there.Yeah, for forty years now he`s been pushin` on.Carrying the dream `cause Woody`s long gone.He`s the last voice singing that "Bound for Glory" song.And if you never seen him you might take a lookHe`s the man who put the meaning in the music book.Yeah, the world may be tired but Pete`s still going strong.Still, what is the name that they`re calling that man?What is the name that they`re calling that man?You know, it`s always the "Old Folkie"They say he`s always bleedin`But whenever somebody`s needing him,He`s the one who caresIt`s always the "Old Folkie:`Whenever somethin`s burning,Or a lesson needs some learning,Or a tide that needs some turning,To a better world somewhere, Yeah, the "Old Folkie`s" there.What is the name that they`re calling that man?What is the name that they`re calling that man?You know, it`s always the "Old Folkie"Singing for some hopeless cause.Shouting at the mountain topThe wind is his only applause.It`s always the "Old Folkie"We don`t know what we`re missing`Cause nobody ever listens,`Cept the lovers as they`re kissin` Oh, he`s singing for them somewhere. Yeah, the "Old Folkie`s" there. The"Old Folkie`s" there.
