- Once
-
- Yes, once I had it all and walked so
tall.
- Once I lived so well just like a swell.
- Every day always fair, with little care.
- Life was good, a scent of flowers filled the air.
-
- Never had to look for help or needed
care,
- I owned a horse and had fine clothes to wear,
- Always had firm friends to bring me good cheer
- Sunshine, weather kind, no great burden to bear.
-
- Life was not very tough, had more than
enough,
- So much love, with fine blue skies
above.
- Once I had little fear and shed few tears.
- Every day seemed rosy, each night tucked up
cosy.
-
- Fate dealt me a hand unfair that brought me
despair,
- Friendly faces have now become so rare.
- Warm smiles have now turned into a stare.
- And now its outlaws who show real care.
