Little Bit of Living (Before I Die)


(Little bit of living, before I die)
Went to sea at sixteen all I seen is New Orleans
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
Went back home and I find
washed away in the flood of twenty-nine
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
Little bit of fun, little bit of pain, little bit of sun, little bit of rain
Wouldn’t want to do it all again
Little bit of living, before I die

Got a job with a traveling show met a girl in Ohio
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
Settled down, had a son eight years gone and away she run
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
Little bit of fun, little bit of pain, little bit of sun, little bit of rain
Wouldn’t want to do it all again
Little bit of living, before I die

Went out west to find some gold - don’t believe every dream you’re told
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
I was broke couldn’t make bail, Counting days in the county jail
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
Little bit of fun, little bit of pain, little bit of sun, little bit of rain
Wouldn’t want to do it all again
Little bit of living, before I die

Rode those restless rails until, I found heaven in the Texas hills
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
At fifty-three, they buried me underneath that cottonwood tree
Little bit of laugh, little bit of cry - little bit of living, before I die
Little bit of fun, little bit of pain, little bit of sun, little bit of rain
Think I’d do it all again
Little bit of living, before I die
