I Am Elderly and Aint No Shame

I’m Elderly and Ain’t No Shame

I ‘m elderly and it ain’t no sin;
Ain’t no shame;
That I’m out on a lem;
America where you’ve been;
Won’t you come help me;
Churches are you praying;
Won’t you come help me;
People stop ignoring;
Children you have forgotten me;
I’m elderly and it ain’t no sin
I’m elderly and I ain’t shamed;
