"Too Old To Cut The Mustard" lyrics
Red Foley & Ernest Tubb Lyrics
"Too Old To Cut The Mustard"
Too old, too old, he's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he's done got too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
When I was young I had a lotta pep
I could get around I didn't need no help
But now you're old and a getting gray
The people all look at you and say
Too old, too old, he's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he's done got too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
I used to could jump just like a deer
But now you need a new landing gear
I used to could jump a picket fence
But now you're lucky if you jump an inch
Too old, too old, he's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he's done got too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
Well when I was young I had an automobile
Now they push you around in a chair with wheels
I had to fight the gals off with a stick
But now they say he makes me sick
Too old, too old, he's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he's done got too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
When I was young and in my prime
The gals all used to stand in line
But now they go the other way
And as they leave I hear them say
Too old, too old, he's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's getting too old he's done got too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore

The Carter Family - "The East Virginia Blues" I was born in East Virginny

Buck Owens - "Streets Of Bakersfield" I came here lookin' for somethin'
I couldn't find anywhere else
Well, I don't want to be nobody,
Just want a chance to be myself.
