[Dolly Parton - In the Good Old Days When Times Were Bad lyrics]
We'd get up before sunup to
Get the work done up
We'd work in the fields 'til
The sun had gone down
We've stood and we've cried
As we've helplessly watched
A hailstorm a-beatin' our crops to the ground
We've gone to bed hungry many
Nights in the past
In the good old days when times were bad
No amount of money could buy from me
The memories that I have of then
No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
In the good old days when times were bad
I've seen Daddy's hands break open and bleed
And I've seen him work 'til
He's stiff as a board
And I've seen Momma lay
And suffer in sickness
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
We've got up before and found
Ice on the floor
Where the wind would blow snow through
The cracks in the wall
And I've walked many miles to
An old country school
With my lunch in the bib of my overalls
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
No amount of money could buy from me
The memories that I have of then
No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
In the good old days when times were bad
In the good old days when times were bad
Get the work done up
We'd work in the fields 'til
The sun had gone down
We've stood and we've cried
As we've helplessly watched
A hailstorm a-beatin' our crops to the ground
We've gone to bed hungry many
Nights in the past
In the good old days when times were bad
No amount of money could buy from me
The memories that I have of then
No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
In the good old days when times were bad
I've seen Daddy's hands break open and bleed
And I've seen him work 'til
He's stiff as a board
And I've seen Momma lay
And suffer in sickness
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
We've got up before and found
Ice on the floor
Where the wind would blow snow through
The cracks in the wall
And I've walked many miles to
An old country school
With my lunch in the bib of my overalls
Anything at all was more than we had
In the good old days when times were bad
No amount of money could buy from me
The memories that I have of then
No amount of money could pay me
To go back and live through it again
In the good old days when times were bad
In the good old days when times were bad
