[00:00.000] 作词 : John Prine[00:00.657] 作曲 : John Prine[00:01.314]We had an apartment in the city,[00:34.567]Me and Loretta liked living there.[00:42.067]Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,[00:47.825]A life of their own left us alone.[00:54.827]John and Linda live in Omaha,[01:02.066]And Joe is somewhere on the road.[01:09.575]We lost Davy in the Korean war,[01:16.815]And I still don't know what for,[01:19.816]Don't matter anymore.[01:23.559][01:24.577]You know that old trees just grow stronger,[01:30.825]And old rivers grow wilder every day.[01:38.575]Old people just grow lonesome[01:45.314]Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."[01:55.569][01:57.309]Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,[02:32.075]She sits and stares through the back door screen.[02:39.062]And all the news just repeat itself[02:46.071]Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.[02:52.567][02:53.078]Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,[03:01.059]We worked together at the factory.[03:06.562]But what could I say if he asks "What's new?"[03:14.074]"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."[03:19.826][03:22.062]You know that old trees just grow stronger,[03:28.571]And old rivers grow wilder every day.[03:35.817]Old people just grow lonesome[03:42.568]Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."[03:52.062][03:53.821]So if you're walking down the street sometime[04:01.314]And spot some hollow ancient eyes,[04:07.567]Please don't just pass 'em by and stare[04:13.065]As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."
