|
I've lived a lot in my time. |
|
I once had a mansion and lived in my glory |
|
But now I'm down to my last dime |
|
I once had a sweetheart but I was unfaithful |
|
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time. |
|
I fought the Grim Reaper down in the dark valley |
|
I prayed when the sun wouldn't shine |
|
I've looked through the bars of a cold lonely prison |
|
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time. |
|
I've been a soldier and I've been a rambler |
|
I once thought that everything was fine |
|
I've hoed in the cornfield I've picked in the cotton |
|
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time. |
|
I've walked with our Master down in the dark valley |
|
And wonderful peace I did find |
|
BBut now some day I'll journey to Eden's green pastures |
|
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time. |
|
I've lived a lot in my time... |
