"Old Folks at Home" 是由John Prine創作並演唱的一首歌曲。以下是這首歌的歌詞:
Old folks at home, singin' hymns
Gettin' ready for bed, takin' care
Wakin' up at four and a half to go milk the cow
Everyday I live is the sweetest year of my life
One, two, three, four, go find your gun
Be careful what you're shootin' at, old folks at home
You can make a pretty good bet that there won't be no more
Old folks at home, there won't be no more
A little house in the woods, out by the pond
Old folks at home, can't even make a decent goddamn gun
That makes you strong, now go sit by the fire
Come to daddy old man, let's make up some tall
He is sick, so old folks mustn't wear long pants anymore
He doesn't work for sugar anymore, it makes him nauseous to sit and look at it
Now go sit by the fire and read your Bible
Old folks at home, they ain't got no place to go
You can hear them all through the night
Crying out for mercy and the sound of the whippoorwill
Oh my dear old folks at home, you ain't got no place to go
