Before My Time

from Thirty East by Lee Jaster

lyrics

I grew up with that tall old cane
With a farmers tan and my daddy's name
If the winters were long and crops did die
Daddy just hung his head and cried
And I grew old before my time (2)

I never did think I'd forget her name
But she blends in now all the same
With her long blonde hair and her blue lace dress
That's the way I liked her best
I was blessed to call her mine (2)

Oh come lay me down easy lord
Or don't come at all
Oh come lay me down easy lord
Or don't come at all, for me

Never been much for an aero plane
They leave you grounded all the same
Never longed much for a railroad track
They take you there and bring you back
I left home before my time (2)

Oh come lay me down easy lord
Or don't come at all
Oh come lay me down easy lord
Or don't come at all, for me

I never outgrew that tall old cane
A farmers tan and my daddy's name
The winters get long and yields aren't high
I just hang my head and cry
I have lived my fathers life (2)

Oh come lay me down easy lord
Or don't come at all
Oh come lay me down easy lord
Or don't come at all, for me
