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 been
And 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 look
He`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 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.
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 top
The 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 Send "Chapin Harry Old Folkie" Ringtone to your Cell
