Looking for the lyrics of "Old and in the way"

Don't recall where I heard it, some old-timey string band.

Starts off---something like:

Oftimes you will meet, while walking down the street A poor old man who's getting old and gray. His back with age is bent, in his pockets not a cent, For shelter he has no place to stay ......

The poor cook he got the fits and threw away all my grits and then he took and he ate up all of my corn Why don't they let me go home, Why don't they let me go home, this is the worst trip I've ever been on.....

Carol, you should always create a new thread when you want lyrics to a song. This one is from the Sloop John B. which must be in the DT, though I haven't checked!

And Carol, one of your relatives already checked in on another thread and asked the same question. So which of you wins?

I wouldn't be in the way if I could just lose weight! ( grow hair & have facial plastic surgery too.)
