Cat. #0248 (MFH #218) - As sung by Mrs. Gladys McChristain, Huntsville, Arkansas on October 1, 1958
VERSE 1
I'd ruther have a young man
With an apple in his hand
Than to have an ole man
With a hundred acres of land
For an ole man he is ole
An' an ole man he is gray
But a young mans heart is full of love
Get away ole man get away
VERSE 2
I would'nt have an ole man
I'll tell you th reason why
His neck's so long an' slender
I'm afaid he'd never die
For an ole man he is ole
An' an ole man he is gray
But a young mans heart is full of love
Get away ole man get away
VERSE 3
His head is like a tea-kettle
His nose is like th spout
His mouth is like th fireplace
With th ashes all took out
For an ole man he is ole
An' an ole man he is gray
But a young mans heart is full of love
Get away ole man get away
