Champion Jack Dupree - Old and Grey

God bless mother
All around the world
May they be happy
And enjoy life

Sons and daughters
If they don't want you
(?)
On you go

You'll be there
The rest of your life
Ain't that a pity
Ain't that a shame

Nobody want you
Nobody worry
Nobody care

When you hair
Has turn'd the silver
When you get old
When you get old an' grey
You always wonder
You always wonder
If you end in your sons and daughters way
Say yes, I'm old and grey
Nobody want me
It have to be that way
But I have had
Yes I have had
I have had my fun

Every mother's day
I wear the white rose
In my lappel on my coat
To let the world know
That I once had a mother but she's gone

Cause my mother cared so much for me
But she left me
In this long long lonesome world
By myself

But if I ever get lucky again
I'll respect all mothers
In the world I'm living in
Cause I say God bless mother
And God bless father
All around the world

When you hair
Has turn'd the silver
When you get old
When you get old an' grey
Nobody want you
Nobody want you
Nobody care
