I am looking for lyrics to the song Young Folks, Old Folks, a Sunday School song from a long time ago. They are lyrics that tell Bible stories of the people of the Old Testament. The words are every unusual. My husband learned them at a YMCA CAMP in the 1920's.

NOTE: Long, long ago, before the days of Political Correctness, this was called "The Colored Sunday School" or "The Darkies' Sunday School.” RG
