[G]
Got an old horse run loose on a farm.
Like [D] a big dog, don't [G] do no harm.
I lived down a dead end track.
Me and my [D] horse and them chickens [G] out back.
I raised five kids, they all up and gone.
Came [D] up rough, not a one [G] went wrong.
An old woman died, they scattered everywhere.
And [D] I never know when I'll [G] see them again.
I'm an old man, [Em] got all [G] I can.
[Em] I've been [G] working this land since I was [C] 24.
[D] I'm an old man, ain't a whole lot going on around here [G] anymore.
[C] [G]
Had an old dog, [C] lived [G] 15 years.
[D] Train got his leg, [G] coon got his ear.
He loved to hunt, he loved to fight.
The way [D] I used to be on [G] Saturday night.
I'm an old man, got [Em] all I [G] can.
[Em] I've been working this [G] land since I was [C] 24.
[D] I'm an old man, ain't a whole lot going on around here [G] anymore.
[D]
[G] I still work, good happy day.
Plant a [D] little corn, cut a [G] little hay.
Don't want to die, till I live too long.
They sell [D] their things whenever [G] I'm gone.
[Em] I miss [G] my sweetheart [C] so in a way she's [G] mine.
[C] I miss [G] them kids of [D] mine, running wild.
The [G] daylight fades, late afternoon.
About all [D] I know, is it was [G] gone too soon.
[Em] I'm an [G] old man, got all I can.
[Em] I've been [G] working this land since I [C] was 24.
[D] I'm an old man, ain't a whole lot going on around [G] here anymore.
[D] Ain't a whole lot going on around [G] here anymore.
