Once There Was a Time

Once there was a time I'd rob my mama

For a good meal and a smoke

Once there was a time I'd sell my brother

For a dollar when I was brokeBut 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 harpAnd 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 goOnce 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, darling, that would be a sin
