I wish to the Lord I'd never been born or died when I was young
I never would have seen your sparkling
blue eyes or heard your lying tongue
All the good times are past and gone All the good times are gone
All the good times are past and gone Little darling,
you're weak no more
Can't you see that long black train going around the bend?
It's taking away the one that I love never to return again
All the good times are past and gone All the good times are gone
All the good times are past and gone Little darling,
you're weak no more
Can't you see that turtle dove flying from pine to pine?
It's mourning for the one that he
loves just like I'm mourning for mine
All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are gone
All the good times are gone All the good times are past and gone
Little darling, you're weak no more
Little darling, you're weak no more
