We had an apartment in the city, Me and Loretta liked living there. Well, it`d been years since the kids had grown, A life of their own left us alone. John and Linda live in Omaha, And Joe is somewhere on the road. We lost Davy in the Korean war, And I still don`t know what for, don`t matter anymore.
Chorus: Ya` know that old trees just grow stronger, And old rivers grow wilder ev`ry day. Old people just grow lonesome Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."
Me and Loretta, we don`t talk much more, She sits and stares through the back door screen. And all the news just repeats itself Like some forgotten dream that we`ve both seen. Someday I`ll go and call up Rudy, We worked together at the factory. But what could I say if asks "What`s new?" "Nothing, what`s with you? Nothing much to do."
Repeat Chorus:
So if you`re walking down the street sometime And spot some hollow ancient eyes, Please don`t just pass `em by and stare As if you didn`t care, say, "Hello in there, hello."
