and old rivers grow wilder every day,

but old people, they just grow lonesome
G
waiting for someone to say,
D G - C - G - C
"Hello in there. Hello"
(verse 3)
Me and my husband, we don't talk much anymore.
He sits and stares through the backdoor screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
like some forgotten dream
that we've both seen.
(verse 4)
Someday I'll go and call up Judy.
We worked together at the factory.
Ah, but what would I say when she asks what's new?
Say, "Nothing, what's with you?
Nothing much to do."

So if you're walking down the street sometime

and you should spot some hollow vacant eyes,

as if you didn't care.

Say, "Hello in there. Hello."
