We'd get up before sun-up to get the work done up |
|
We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down |
|
We've stood and we've cried as we have bristly watched |
|
A hailstorm a' beatin' our crops to the ground |
|
We've gone to bed hungry many nights in the past |
|
In the good old days when times were bad |
|
Chorus: |
|
No amount of money could buy from me |
|
The memories that i have of then |
|
No amount of money could pay me |
|
To go back and live through it again |
|
I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed |
|
And i've seen him work till he's stiff as a board |
|
An' i've seen momma layin' in suffer and sickness |
|
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford |
|
Anything at all was more than we had |
|
In the good old days when times were bad |
|
We've got up before and found ice on the floor |
|
Where the wind would blow snow through the cracks in the wall |
|
And i couldn't enjoy then, havin' a boyfriend |
|
I had nothing decent to wear at all |
|
So i long for a love that i never had |
|
In the good old days when times were bad |
|
Repeat chorus |
