Malvina Reynolds - Malvina's Blues lyrics

It ain't a folk song, Buddy, unless it's old and gray It ain't a folk song, Buddy, unless it's old and gray Well I don't know what to call em But I write em anyway It ain't a folk song, Buddy, unless it's found somewhere It ain't a folk song, Buddy, unless it's found somewhere Well I found these songs Right under my head of hair Well I am old but my songs are new And I don't care what you call em Just sing em That's all I ask of you It ain't a folk song, Buddy, unless it's traveled far It ain't a folk song, Buddy, unless it's traveled far Well my songs are traveling I don't know where they are They call me a folk singer, but I don't give a damn When I start to sing, you don't care what I am You sing em That's all I ask of you
