In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad) — текст песни (Dolly Parton)

We`d get up before sun-up to get the work done up
We`d work in the fields till the sun had gone down
We`ve stood and we`ve cried as we have bristly 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
Chorus:

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

I`ve seen daddy`s hands break open and bleed
And I`ve seen him work till he`s stiff as a board
An` I`ve seen momma layin` in suffer and 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 couldn`t enjoy then, havin` a boyfriend
I had nothing decent to wear at all
So I long for a love that I never had
In the good old days when times were bad

Repeat Chorus
