Lyrics
Once A Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh yes, what you gonna say to me? Oh, yes
Oh yes, what you gonna say to me? Oh, yes
Once a man, twice a child
Things that you do live with you
Every day you're doing things that is wrong
And nothing is upon you
Oh yes, things are gonna change, oh, yes
Oh yes, things and times change, oh, yes
Do all the good to all the people you can
Try and be a straightforward man
What sew ever you, so you shall reap
If you plow corn, you cannot reap beans
Do all the good to all the people you can
Try and be a straightforward man
If the you work the land, you can't run as if
If you plant corn, you cannot reap beans
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, oh, no
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, oh, no
