Marty Robbins – The Wine Flowed Freely lyrics

The days of my youth I remember so well we lived in a world on our own
Nobody cared where my money came from if I had it I wasn't alone
Oh the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine how they all loved me back then
But here in my prison I'm sitting alone and now where are all of my friends

So drink and be marry if that is your wish your soul's to the Lord I commend
Remember someday you may be as I am with nothing not even a friend
Oh the wine flowed freely...

So here's to the freedom I never will have for me it's not long till the end
But it's better to die than to spend forty years with the cold prison walls for a friend
Oh the wine flowed freely...
