Jim Reeves - I've Lived A Lot In My Time (from Jim Reeves, 1957) Lyrics
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 gloryBut now I'm down to my last dime;I had a sweetheart, but I was unfaithfulOh, I've lived a lot in my time..Chorus:I've fought the grim reaper down in the dark valleyI've prayed when the sun would'nt shine;I've looked through the bars of a cold lonely prisonOh, I've lived a lot in my time.--- Instrumental ---I've been a soldier, and I've been a ramblerOnce thought that everything was fine;I've hoed in the corn fields, I've picked in the cottonYes, I've lived a lot in my time.I've walked with my master, down in the dark valleyAnd wonderful peace I did find;Someday I'll journey to Eden's green pasturesYes, I've lived a lot in my time...
