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 had a sweetheart but i was unfaithful
Oh i've lived a lot in my time

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 everything was fine
I've hoed in the corn fields 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
Someday i'll journey to eden's green pastures
Yes i've lived a lot in my time
