When The Old Folks Were Alive

[Spoken] Back on the family farm when we were just kids we had things you wouldn't believe... We had baseball in the orchard We had a tractor named fang We had guys with guitars We had girls who could sing We had grandma, we had pap-pap We had two babies on our lap There used to be an outhouse When you had to take a crap We had fourteen guys with rifles On Saturday noon buck drives We had a damn good time When the old folks were alive We had a big hay fork And a loose hay mow We had a pony in the barn And a dozen beef cows We had roosters with spurs And two old yellow dogs We had a shed full of blacksnakes Where they used to keep hogs We had fourteen guys with rifles On Saturday noon buck drives We had a damn good time When the old folks were alive We had Tom, Rick, and Matt We had Gary and Bernice, We had Abe, we had Raymond, We had Walter and Louise We had beer, we had whiskey We had bourbon, we had rye We were a card playing family On a drinking Friday night We had fourteen guys with rifles On Saturday noon buck drives We had a damn good time When the old folks were alive [Spoken] All these things are gone But the cousins still remember
