The First One

You're still looking mighty good For being older than a century It was nice to come and see you It's always good with you and me You sure have changed a lot these years Maybe put on just a little weight But then I have too of course So it's okay Your bountiful descendants Have spread all through this land Signing autographs around the world Even Elvis was a fan Rode out to the Mississippi With one of your progeny The trees passed beneath the moonlight Me and him in harmony Don't know exactly what you're made of Some parts of you don't make sense But I'm sure that you're the first one 'Cause I've seen the evidence Hard to know how you got started You're a bit of mystery But it's still nice to come and see you It's always good with you and me
