The song Old Man Took is performed by America in the album named Highway: 30 Years of America in the year 2000 .
For the last time
I watched old man took bait his hook
And then throw his line
Pick up his wine
He's a friend of mine
Known him all my life and his wife
'Neath the swayin' pine and the clingin' vine
Just before he left
He said, "Now young man
Take good care, don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue, blue, blue, blue all the time"
So I stayed awhile
Took my tea alone, called it home
Like a playing child
Running wild
Heard a blue jay call
Said we got you now, hope you bow
To the old man's word, I'm sure you heard
Just before he left
He said, "Now young man
Take good care, don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue, blue, blue, blue, all the time"
Now young man
Take good care, don't let the bugs bite
Please make sure to say a word at night
For all your brothers feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
Feeling blue
