Kingston Trio Stories of old Lyrics:
John Stewart

Chorus: I don't want to hear your stories of old.
Don't show me your golden chains. For if there's
just one man in this whole wide land and he is
living in pain. Oh, then freedom's not your name.

You told me of a dream that I would surely like to
see where each man could keep the wolves from his
door. Then I saw an old man without a dollar in
his hand, saying, "You don't need me anymore.
I guess you just don't need me anymore."

(Chorus)

We've got a lot of pride and that I can't deny
from those who bore us liberty. But if freedom's
at the door and we let it wait some more, Oh, I
wonder how proud they are of me. I wonder just how
proud they are of me.

Go ahead and walk away. Yeah, turn your back and
say, "We'll show 'em whose got who on the
run." But, if we could talk with folks out
there, we might get somewhere And maybe someday we
could throw away these guns. Someday we could
throw away these guns.

(Chorus)

If there's just one man in this whole wide land
and he is living in pain, oh, then freedom's not
your name.
