Life I've Led

There never was a man so doggone mean

I wore only black and my eyes were green

And I can tell you now that I'm very old

I'd kill any man for a piece of gold

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying

Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying

Yes, I did

I rode in a Dodge on a sunny day

I went there to steal all the railmen's pay

And when I left town all the streets ran red

I had ten grand in gold and three guards lay dead

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying

Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying

Yes, I did

I was a bad man with a heart made of stone

If you were a wise man, you would've left me alone

I've lived all my life, such a lonely one

Just me and my horse and a fine six-gun

I've lived and I've loved and I knew great pain

But I know now I'd do it over again, singing

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying

Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead

Oh, what a life I've led

I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying

Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying
