Sometimes I Wish |
| Sometimes I wish I was born in another time |
| A long long time ago |
| Things were much harder then |
| But I like the clothes they wore |
| And the way they did their hair |
| At least they took some care |
| Then they all went off to war |
| You can never have it all |
| Sometimes I wish I was born in another time |
| Say in 1924 |
| People didn’t have much money then |
| In fact most folks were poor |
| But what about those cars |
| And the sound of those guitars |
| And the voice of Old King Cole |
| Soothed me to my soul |
| Sometimes I wish I was born in another time |
| In 1754 |
| I’d go drinking with old Robbie Burns |
| Whose words are made of gold |
| Oh Christ we need him now |
| Said a talking Ayrshire cow |
| But now he’s drifted up to heaven |
| He was only 37 |
| Just a young man really |
| Cut down in his prime |
| Sometimes I wish I was born in another time |
| A long long time ago |
| Things were much harder then |
| But I like the clothes they wore |
| And the way they did their hair |
| At least they showed some flair |
| Then they all went off to war |
| You can never have it all |
| You can never have it all |
| You can have some things some of the time |
| You can have most things nearly all the time |
| But you can’t have it All of the time |
