lyrics

If I wake up, as one wakes up
After 50 wasted years
Won't you grab me a fifth and fiddle
And waste the rest, my dear

We can sleep, my darlin' we can sleep
Cause time will keep rollin' along
And we can cry, my darlin' we can cry
Cause our lives will keep rollin' along

But if we try, my darlin' if we try
To stop that old clock on the wall
Well those hands won't mean nothing at all babe
Cause they never stopped my fall

If I wake up as one wakes up
After 50 wasted years
Won't you grab me a fifth and a fiddle
And waste the rest, my dear

Will you stay, my darlin' will you stay
When these arms are all trembling and cold
Will you love, my darlin' will you love
This body that's growing so old

Yea we can try, my darlin' we can try
To stop that old clock on the wall
But those hands won't mean nothing at all, babe
Cause they never stopped my fall

If I wake up as one wakes up
After 50 wasted years
Won't you grab me a fifth and a fiddle
And waste the rest, my dear

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
When I'm six foot deep
Will you spare me a day of your life babe
Won't you come visit me

If I wake up as one wakes up
After 50 wasted years
Won't you grab me a fifth and a fiddle
And waste the rest, my dear

If I wake up as one wakes up
After 50 wasted years
Won't you grab me a fifth and a fiddle
And waste the rest, my dear
Won't you grab me a fifth and a fiddle
And waste the rest, my dear
