Lyrics

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
[ choir ]
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
