That old time feelin’

Goes sneekin’ the hall

Like an old grey tomcat in winter

Keeping his back to the wall



That old time feelin’

Goes stumbling up the street

Like an old salesman kickin’

Papers away from his feet



That old time feelin’

Draws circles around the block

Like a woman with any children

Holding hands with the clock



That old time feelin’

Falls on its face in a park

Like an old wino wonderin’

If hell make it till it gets dark



That old time feelin’

Comes and goes in the rain

Like an old man with his checkers

Dying to find him a game



That old time fellin’

Plays for beer in a bar

Like an old blues time picker

Who don’t recall who you are



That old time fellin’

Limps through the light on a crutch

Like an old soldier a wonderin’

If he’s paid too much



That old time feelin’

Rocks and spits and cries

Like an old lover rememberin’

The girl with the clear blue eyes



That old time feelin’ …
