I've Lived A Lot In My Time

I've lived a lot in my time (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 had a sweetheart, but I was unfaithful

Oh, I've lived a lot in my time..

Chorus:

I've fought the grim reaper down in the dark valley

I've prayed when the sun would'nt shine;

I've looked through the bars of a cold lonely prison

Oh, I've lived a lot in my time

--- Instrumental ---

I've been a soldier, and I've been a rambler

Once thought that everything was fine;

I've hoed in the corn fields, I've picked in the cotton

Yes, I've lived a lot in my time

I've walked with my master, down in the dark valley

And wonderful peace I did find;

Someday I'll journey to Eden's green pastures

Yes, I've lived a lot in my time...
