The old man is a charmer
loving his barbershop
or anyplace where he can stand
a story up and make it holler
every day there is a little extra
he sees but nobody else notices
a small thing flashes by like a bug
or a day of the week
he'll dine out for hours on a crust
you would throw away
yeah that old man was really something
especially when he got the devil in him
or maybe it was him got ahold of the devil's tail instead
picked him up, swung him into bad health
all around his head. Lord
we used to laugh
Awful quiet with him gone and all
the way we stand around like we are waiting
for what we never know without him
there to point it out
