I've got golden memories,
I've got silver threads
winding through my hair
Oh baby, there'll be good times,
enough to share
I ain't young, but I ain't old
I'll keep you warm tonight
against the cold
Oh, baby, don't that better wind
Honey, don't you blow
Oh, but I know old Father Time
He's got a main sight on him
He's gonna make me drink that wine,
he's gonna steal my life,
he'll do it in time
You can't beat the devil,
but you can rob that sucker blind
Oh, my daddy was a gypsy
My mama was a honky -tonker's dream
Me, I just showed up to spoil their scene
Took Dirty Harry to my bedroom
I let that mean evil man have his way
Oh mama, why'd you raise your
daughter this way?
Oh but I know, old father time
He's got a mean side on him
He's gonna make me
drink that wine
He's gonna steal my life
He'll do it in time
You can't beat the devil
But you can rob that sucker blind
I've got golden memories,
I've got sil ver threads winding
through my hair
Oh baby,
I've got good times enough to share
Yes I do, oh baby, I've got good times
enough to share you
