Old Richard

Well he's been down for such a long time
He plans to dig his own grave.
His crazy disease will make off
With all the plans you made.

You better see Old Richard before he's dead and gone.
You better see Old Richard
And tell him how you plan to get along.

My lady went to see him;
She couldn't take the shock.
She stares into the air now;
She's filled with empty talk.

You better see Old Richard before he's dead and gone.
You better see Old Richard
And tell him how you plan to get along.

I came into his chamber;
I couldn't face the truth.
I stood stock-still amazed to find
How he had lost his youth.
