The Hollies - Life I've Led lyrics

There never was a man so doggone mean I wore only black and my eyes were green And I can tell you now that I'm very old I'd k** any man for a piece of gold Oh, what a life I've led I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead Oh, what a life I've led I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying Yes, I did I rode in a Dodge on a sunny day I went there to steal all the railmen's pay And when I left town all the streets ran red I had ten grand in gold and three guards lay dead Oh, what a life I've led I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead Oh, what a life I've led I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying Yes, I did I was a bad man with a heart made of stone If you were a wise man, you would've left me alone I've lived all my life, such a lonely one Just me and my horse and a fine six-gun I've lived and I've loved and I knew great pain But I know now I'd do it over again, singing Oh, what a life I've led I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead Oh, what a life I've led I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying Oh, what a life I've led I've been a real bad man and I ought to be dead Oh, what a life I've led I've been real mean man full of cheating and lying Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying
