Once There Was a Time (1971)

Once there was a time I'd rob my mother

For a good meal and a smoke

Once there was a time I'd sell my brother

For a dollar when I was broke

But I'd never sell my guitar

And my strings were always sharp

Cause if I don't have a guitar

I'll be strumming on some angels harp

And if I don't get to heaven

And I go down there below

Better be a guitar when I get there

Or I will refuse to go

Once there was a time I was hungry

And I'd find my food in some bin

But I'd never, never sell my guitar

Cause that would, lordy, that would be a sin

Once there was a time I was hungry

And I'd find my food rotting in some bin

But I'd never, never sell my guitar

Cause that would, lordy, that would be a sin
