When I was a young man (live 1992)

This is a song I haven't sung in quite a while
And is actually, originally a folksong
I don't know who wrote that
Maybe somebody could write and tell me
Anyway this is When I was a young man

When I was young
I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young man
I used to drink ale
Right out the alehouse
Into the jailhouse
Right out the ballroom
And down to my grave

Down to my grave
Down to my grave

Come mother
Come father
Sit you down beside me
I've something I wanna tell you

Come mother
Come father
Pity my case
My head is aching
My poor hеart is breaking
My body
My body salvating

You know I'm bound to die
I'm bound to die
I'm bound to diе

Caution for the preacher
To come to pray for me
Come pray for me

God send for the doctor
God send for the doctor
To heal my wounds
Heal my wounds

My head is aching
You know my poor heart is breaking

My body
My body
My body salivating
And hell is my home

Hell is my home
Hell is my home

One morning
One morning
One morning in May

One morning
One fine morning
One morning in May

You know I spot this young man
All dressed in white linen
He was all dressed in white linen
And as cold as the day

As cold as the day
As cold as the day

I warned six young angels
To carry my coffin
You know I warned six young angels
To take me, to take me
To take me along

You know I want them to carry
A bounch of white roses
To lay on my body
As I pass along
As I pass along
As I pass along

When I was a young man
You know I used to seak pleasure
When I was a young man
I used to drink ale
Right out the alehouse
They threw into the jailhouse
Right out the ballroom
And down, and down, down
To my grave

Down to my grave
Down to my grave
Down to my grave

When I was a young man

Thank you very much
