(Dolly Parton)      We'd get up before sunup to get the work done up   We'd work in the fields till the sun had gone down   We've stood and we've cried as we've helplessly watched   A hailstorm a beatin' our crops to the ground   We've gone to bed hungry many nights in the past   In the good old days when times were bad.      No ammount of money could buy from me   The mem'ries that I have of them   No ammount of money could pay me   To go back and live through it again.      --- Instrumental ---      I've seen daddy's hands break open and bleed   And I've seen him work till he's stiff as a board   And I've seen mama lay and suffer in sickness   In need of a doctor we couldn't afford   Anything at all was more than we had   In the good old days when times were bad.      We've got up before and found ice on the floor   Where the wind would blew snow through the cracks in the wall   And I couldn't enjoy then havin' a boyfriend   I had nothing decent to wear at all   So I longed for a love that I never had   In the good old days when times were bad.      No ammount of money could buy from me   The mem'ries that I have of them   No ammount of money could pay me   To go back and live through it again.      In the good old days when times were bad.   In the good old days when times were bad...
