LITTLE FOLKS
(Jack Clement)

Hank Cochran - 1965
Charley Pride - 1967


We've decided we can't work it out
We might as well call it a day
We've agreed to disagree
And go our separate ways


We just don't seem to get along
We argue and we fuss
So we've agreed that to part as friends
Is best for both of us


But what's gonna happen to the little folks
The little folks, the little folks
What's gonna happen to the little folks
Who live in our house


Since we've decided we can't work it out
We might as well end it this time
We've fought enough and fussed enough
And said too much this time


So we've agreed that the thing to do
Is set each other free
You go your way and I'll go mine
That's best for you and me


What's gonna happen to the little folks
The little folks, the little folks
What's gonna happen to the little folks
Who live in our house


Well maybe someday we'll look back
And see how foolish we've been
'Cause we might find it's the little ones
Who lose in the end


So maybe things are not so bad
We're still in love you and I
And maybe we can work it out
If we give it one more try


We owe that much to the little folks
The little folks, the little folks
We owe that much to the little folks
Who live in our house
