Thread Name: Origins: Just Plain Folks (Maurice Stonehill)
Subject: RE: Origins: Just Plain Folks?
We are just plain folks your mother and me
Just plain folks like our own folks used to be
Since our presence seems to grieve you
We will go away and leave you
For we're sadly out of place here \
For we're just plain folks.

I learned this from my great Aunt. It is often sung by Smokey Green, a country singer. He says the wealthy H.H. Hunt claims to have written it.
