int和good old days (when times were bad)
We got up before sunup to get the work done up
Wed work in the fields till the sun had gone down
Weve stood and weve cried as we helplessly watched
A hailstorm a beatin our crops to the ground
And Ive gone to bed hungry many nights as a lad
In the good old days when times were bad
Ive seen daddys hands break open and bleed
And Ive seen him work till hes stiff as a board
Ive seen mama lay and suffer in sickness
In need of a doctor we couldnt afford
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
No ammount of money could buy from me
The memries that I have of them
No ammount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
Weve got up before we found ice on the floor
Where the wind would blew snow
Through the cracks in the wall
And Ive walked many miles to an old country school
With my luch in a bag of my overalls
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
No ammount of money could buy from me
The memries that I have of them
No ammount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
