Old Mr. Fletcher passed by here today,
Am Em D
After 40 years of toil he just up and walked away,

Am Em D Em

D Em
Walk away, I'll be a parade,
C B5
And I'll be determined that no one shall

Dissuade on my way,
D G C B5
I'll sure take some time to burn all the bridges

D G C B5
I'll take my sweet time and burn all the bridges

And I'll be determined that no one shall
