[00:21.38] Times ain't now nothing like they used to be
[00:25.28]
[00:28.06] Oh times ain't now nothing like they used to be
[00:32.58]
[00:35.07] And I'm tellin' you all the truth oh take it for me
[00:38.99]
[00:42.00] I done seen better days but I'm puttin' up with these
[00:46.01]
[00:48.63] I done seen better days but I'm puttin' up with these
[00:53.09]
[00:55.34] I been havin' a much better time with these girls
[00:58.14] Now I'm so hard to please
[00:59.95]
[01:02.29] 'Cos I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to rule
[01:06.63]
[01:09.09] 'Cos I was born in the country she thinks I'm easy to rule
[01:13.82]
[01:16.02] She try to hitch me to her wagon
[01:17.79] She want to drive me like a mule
[01:20.21]
[01:22.89] You know I bought some groceries and I paid the rent
[01:26.97]
[01:29.64] Yes I buy some groceries and I pay the rent
[01:33.82]
[01:35.88] She try to make me wash her clothes but I got good common sense
[01:40.67]
[01:43.29] I said if you don't want me why don't you tell me so
[01:47.33]
[01:50.11] You know if you don't want me why don't you tell me so
[01:54.45]
[01:56.84] Because it ain't like a man that ain't got nowhere to go
[02:01.28]
[02:03.12] I've been givin' you sugar for sugar let you get salt for salt
[02:07.66]
[02:10.43] I'll give you sugar for sugar let you get salt for salt
[02:14.85]
[02:17.28] And if you can't get 'long with me well it's your own fault
[02:21.53]
[02:24.13] How you wanted me to love you and you treat me mean
[02:28.42]
[02:30.96] How do you want me to love you you keep on treatin' me mean
[02:35.48]
[02:37.80] You're my daily thought and my nightly dream
[02:42.03]
[02:44.54] Sometimes I think that you too sweet to die
[02:48.66]
[02:51.37] Sometimes I think that you too sweet to die
[02:55.84]
[02:58.24] And another time I think you oughta be buried alive
