MOG

Did he fight for the blue or the gray?
But you needn't be ashamed of him
What stories he tells
What a lonely old world this will be
And his own corn cob pipe is so mellow, hits right

Yes, I know that one so well
You know I know that one so well
But he's so democratic and so diplomatic
That's why everybody loves him so
How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day

We always let him have his way
What stories he tells
Always leaving his spoon in his coffee
In the evenings after supper
One thing we don't know about old folks
Just as free as a bird and as good as his word
Children's voices at play will be still fonding
Tucks his napkin up under his chin

How he held his speech at Gettysburg for Lincoln that day
Some day there will be no more old folks

In the evenings after supper
