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 ......

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!

It's also probably in the kingston trio database.

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.)
