To Be Young (Is to Be Sad, Is to Be High)

Young boy done me bad, went and did you wrong

Young boy done me bad, I went and did you wrong

Then I got high, Lord, I got high

Now I got a bone to pick with you, and I'm sure you know it's true

Oh, one day, when you're lookin' back

You were young and, man, you were sad

When you're young, you get sad, when you're young

You get sad, then you get high

Oh, man

Young gal done you bad, now went and did you wrong

Young gal, you done me bad, so I went and did you wrong

And I got high, Lord, I got high

Now you got a bone to pick with me, but I wish you'd let me be

Oh, one day when you're lookin' back

You were young and, man, you were sad

When you're young, you get sad, when you're young

You get sad, then you get high

You get high

Ooh, the days the rain would fall your way

Ooh, the days the rain would fall your way

Then you'd be high 'cause you got sad

'Cause you got sad

Oh, man

Oh, man

Oh, man
