Lyrics
Old man Brown old man Brown
Lived in a shack on the edge of town
Old man Brown old man Brown
Knew everybody in our little small town
Old man Brown was a friend of mine
Made me smile nearly all the time
Never had nothing bad to say
Told everyone to have a good day
Rain or shine it didn?t matter to him
Came to church on Sunday prayed away his sins
Old man Brown was a very good man
Old folks knew him way back when
A story teller yes indeed
He?d tell some whoppers believe you me
Leave you hanging on the edge of your seat
And some of these stories we can?t repeat
Old man Brown Old man Brown
I always loved it when he came around
Never had nothing bad to say
All the folks loved him in a special way
Old man Brown o-oold man Brown
One day he didn?t come into town
Old folks said that he went away
But the Lord done took him on that very day
Old man Brown was a friend of mine
I?m going to miss him so for a very long time
