作词 : Prine 作曲 : John Prine We had an apartment in the city, Me and Loretta liked living there. It's been years since the kids had grown, A life of their own left us alone. John and Linda live in Omaha, Joe is somewhere on the road. We lost Davy in the Korean war, Still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.
Ya' know old trees just grow stronger, Old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day. But old people they just grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
Me and Loretta, we don't talk much now. She sits and stares through at back door screen. 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. What'd I tell him if he asks "What's new?" "Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."
Ya' know old trees just grow stronger, Rivers grow wilder ev'ry day. But old people they just grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
So if you're walking down the street sometime Spot some hollow ancient eyes, Please don't pass 'em by and stare Like you didn't care, say "Hello in there, hello," Say "Hello in there, hello."
