What will happen to your mama and daddy after they have grown old

You know things're really changed a lot in these modern days

And as moms and daddys grow old seems like they kinda gettin' away

They raised a big family and then they left 'em on

Sent off somewhere to live in an old folks home

Oh they'd like to be with their children but they don't wanna impose

For you might have to wash up some of their faded old clothes

Yes they've nursed you and raised you until you were grown

But that's the thanks they get for all of this a place in an old folks home

Do you remember the many nights they sat beside your bed

And mama would place a cold cloth to your hot feveres head

And she'd say now don't you worry it'll be all right dear

For your mama and your daddy will gonna be sittin' right here

Why they sat there through the long night and then when daylight came

Mom and dad would go on with their hard day's work you'd never hear 'em complain

They nursered you cause they loved you why you were their very own

How in the world can you leave 'em out there livin' in the old folks home

Oh you have a beautiful place to live and you're drivin' a brand new car

Mom and dad would sure enjoy those comforts you enjoy livin' there where you are

Still you live there in splendor just like a king on his throne

And they're left somewhere neglected by you livin' in an old folks home

Why you have a nice room right there ahead of the stairs

And a big soft bed yes no one's sleepin' there

You have a big yardback out all full of pretty flowers

Why don't you bring 'em back from that old folks home

So the last hours would be happy hours

What will happen to your mama and daddy after they have grown old

Other Wilburn Brothers song Lyrics
  • All Of A Sudden
    "All of a sudden you're lonely all of a sudden it's goodbye
    You found out too late how much you love her all of a sudden you cry
    You thought that she'd belong to you forever
    You thought that she love you that you could play..."
  • Almost Persuaded
    "Last night all alone in a barroom met a girl with a drink in her hand
    She had ruby red lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man
    Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands in mine
    I have found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowing like wine..."
  • Always Alone
    "Always alone alone and blue I've got no one to tell my troubles to
    No one to care to call my own it seems that I must always be alone
    The day you left you broke my heart I need you so but we're so far apart
    You didn't care I should have known that you would go and leave me all alone..."
  • Answer Me My Love
    "Answer me oh my love just what sin have I been guilty of
    Won't you tell me how I lost you love please answer me sweetheart
    You were mine yesterday I believed that love was here to stay
    Won't you tell me where I've gone astray please answer me my love..."
  • Barbara Allen
    "In Scarlet Town where I was born there was a fair maid dwelling
    Her beauty shone just like the sun and her name was Barbara Allen
    All in the merry month of May when green buds they were swelling
    Sweet William on his death bed lay for the love of Barbara Allen..."
  • Beneath The Willow Tree
    "My heart is sad and I am lonely I'm lonesome for the one I love
    When shall I see her maybe never until we meet in a heaven above
    Oh bury me beneath the willow neath the weeping willow tree
    So she may know where I am sleeping and perhaps she'll weep for me..."
  • Big Heartbreak
    "You walked away and said it was goodbye
    You laughed when you saw teardrops in my eyes
    But I'm still yours completely heart and soul how can a heart so warm love one so cold
    The big heartbreak started then the big heartbreak just won't end..."
  • Big River Train
    "In the land of the Ponderosa pine there runs a giant 8-wheeler
    Known as the Big River Train
    Just before she disappears into the forset she passes by a prison
    Where many a convict has dreamed of riding her rails to freedom..."
