Now don't
be ashamed of your age
Don't let the years get you down
you hear me, I hear you, boy.
That old gang you knew, boy,
they still think of you
As a rounder in your old hometown.
You mean Berea, KY?
Now don't mind the gray in your hair.
Think of all the fun you had putting it there.
I remembers it well.
As for that old book of times,
you've never skipped a page.
So don't be ashamed of your age,
Foley.
What'd you say?
Don't be ashamed of your age.
Now listen here to me, Mr. Tubb.
I hear you, son.
Don't let your age get you down.
Why, life ain't begun until you're 40,
son.
That's good news.
That's when you really
start to go to town.
Oh, tell me more, brother.
Don't wish that you were a lad.
Uh -huh.
Why, boy, you've lost more gals
than they've ever had.
Gets better all the time.
And listen, you've graduated
from that old sucker stage
So don't be ashamed of your age
You hear me talkin', Ernest?
I'm listenin', boy
Don't be ashamed of your age
I hear you fully
And we're not ashamed of our age
