Lyrics Bobby Bare – 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 once had a sweetheart but I was unfaithful

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…
