You know last night about nine 'o' clock [Incomprehensible] He chewed his tobacco and he jumped in bed He looked down at me and this is what he said Time marches on
Now I looked at myself, sometime ago And I noticed that my wrinkles had begun to show And now I know, I better take it slow 'Coz time marches on
At nine I used to play me+ A lotta sand light ball I carried the pig skin when it turned fall But now I can't, can't even run at all Time marches on
I used to have some women, tall, fat and short I used to keep a woman in every port The Lord knows, they only in my thoughts Time marches on
And now after all said and done What good is life without havin' fun 'Coz life is given but only once Time marches on
Time marches on You know the young gets old And the old gets cold Time marches on
Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on Time marches on
