BE PROUD OF THE GRAY IN YOUR HAIR

Lay down that cane and start moving
While you can get out of your chair.
Put on those shoes and start walkin'.
Be proud of the gray in your hair.

Well, I hope you see what I'm sayin'.
Einstein could very well be right,
That man's greatest victory is dyin'.
Don't never give up without a fight.

Said you know how it feels to be lonesome.
You know what it means when you're blue.
There ain't no use to sit and worry,
For there ain't nobody worryin' about you.

[Written by Dave Evans and recorded by him on "Classic Bluegrass," Rebel CD #1119, 1994; and "Goin' Round This World," Rebel CD #1602, 1996.]

G'day Jim,

Well - I reckon this thread has done a pretty good recovery from six feet down!

Regards,

Bob
