We had an apartment in the city,
DO REm SOL
Me and Loretta liked living there.

It'd been years since the kids had grown,
DOsus DO SOL
A life of their own and left us alone.
DO REm SOL
John and Linda live in Omaha,
DO REm SOL
And Joe is somewhere on the road.

We lost Davy in the Korean war,
DOsus DO SOL
And still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

Ya know old trees just grow stronger,
SIb DO
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
MIm FA
Old people just grow lonesome
DOsus SOL DO
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do.
Ya know old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."
