We Live a Long , Long Time - Jimmy Murphy/Anita Carter/Robert Foster/Tommy Jackson

We live a long long time to get old

We live a long long time to get old

So there ain't no need to cry poor grandpa's got to die

We live a long long time to get old

When you get old and feeble and you can't hardly get around

You'll have to get two walking sticks to hobble up to town

You can hear your kinfolks talking they'll be whispering all around

Old grandpa'd be better off if he's six feet under the ground

We live a long long time to get old

We live a long long time to get old

So there ain't no need to cry poor grandpa's got to die

We live a long long time to get old

When you get old and feeble and this world has turned you down

Remember back when you were the best dressed man in town

You ain't got long to stay here you're waiting for the day

When you can throw your false teeth and walking cane away

We live a long long time to get old

We live a long long time to get old

So there ain't no need to cry poor grandpa's got to die

We live a long long time to get old

When you went to high school you used to jump and hop

Now each time you move around you start to crack and pop

You talk about the good old days when you were in your prime

How y'earned all that money but you didn't save a dime

We live a long long time to get old

We live a long long time to get old

So there ain't no need to cry poor grandpa's got to die

We live a long long time to get old
