Hello In There

[Tuesday Afternoon]

is there anybody out there :hi:

We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,
A life of their own left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."

So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."

10. Love John Prine

and love that song. Is that video from SNL?

I saw John Prine in concert in Pensacola the week Johnny Cash died. The whole audience almost was dressed all in black. It was a great concert, but sad under the circumstances.

Thanks for posting the link.

I have been searching for the the link to the Kinky Friedman SNL video either one week before or after this John Prine SNL episode. I might have to break down and just buy the whole season.

on edit: I watched it again, this one wasnt from SNL.
