Thread Name: Origins: Just Plain Folks (Maurice Stonehill)
Subject: Origins: Just Plain Folks?
I am looking for the origin and all of the words to a song
that my grandmother sang often. I do not know if the title
is correct, but the words just plain folk are mentioned often.
These lyrics are all that my mother can remember, any help would be greatly appreciated.
   It don't seem so long since you were just a simple country
   lad, you did the work a country lad should do. In those days we
   never looked with shame towards mother and old dad, in fact
   my boy they both were proud of you. We're just plain folk,
   plain folk, like the old folks used to be if our presence
   seems to grieve you, we will go away and leave you, for your
   sadly out of just plain folks.
    If anyone
   wishes to emal me I am johnw@insightbb.com Thanks!
