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
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
But 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
