Ten Years After — Once There Was a Time

Once there was a time I'd rob my mother For a good meal and a smoke Once there was a time I'd sell my brother For a dollar when I was broke But 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 harp And 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 go Once 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, lordy, that would be a sin Once there was a time I was hungry And I'd find my food rotting in some bin But I'd never, never sell my guitar Cause that would, lordy, that would be a sin
