Jim Reeves - I've Lived A Lot In My Time lyrics

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 UN-FAITHFUL,

OH, I`VE LIVED A LOT IN MY TIME.

I`VE FOUGHT THE GRIM REAPER, DOWN IN THE DARK VALLEY,

I`VE 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,

ONCE THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE,

I`VE HOED IN THE CORN AND 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.
