- 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.
1ST CHORUS
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.
2ND CHORUS
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.
