My Good Old Man

Burl Ives · The Singing Wayfarer [2007]

Where are you going, my good old man?

Where are you going, my honey, lovey dove?

Where are you going, my good old man?

Best old man in the world



spoken: Well, I'm going hunting.

What do you want for breakfast, my good old man? (as above)

Eggs

How many do you want, my good old man

A bushel

A bushel will kill you, my good old man

I don't care

Where do you want to be buried, my good old man

Over there in the chimney corner

The ashes will fall on you, my good old man

I don't care

What'll you do then, my good old man?

I will haunt you

A haunt can't haunt a haunt, my good old man
