Bonny Light Horseman - When I Was Younger Lyrics

Bonny Light Horseman Lyrics

"When I Was Younger"

When I was younger I used to seek pleasure
When I was younger I used to drink wine
Now that I'm older I'm rockin' a cradle
Rockin' a baby who's always a-cryin'

When I was younger I used to dress fancy
When I was younger I used to dress fine
Now that I'm older there's no time for dancing
No time for wasting on women and wine

Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh

When I was younger I told you I love ya
When I was younger I said things like that
Said I would hold you and love you forever
Love you forever and never look back
