Tekst piosenki
Sometimes I wish I was born in another time A long long time ago Things were much harder then But I like the clothes they wore And the way they did their hair At least they took some care Then they all went off to war You can never have it all Sometimes I wish I was born in another time Say in 1924People didn't have much money then In fact most folks were poor But what about those cars And the sound of those guitars And the voice of Old King Cole Soothed me to my soul Sometimes I wish I was born in another time In 1754I'd go drinking with old Robbie Burns Whose words are made of gold Oh Christ we need him now Said a talking Ayrshire cow But now he's drifted up to heaven He was only 37Just a young man really Cut down in his prime Sometimes I wish I was born in another time A long long time ago Things were much harder then But I like the clothes they wore And the way they did their hair At least they showed some flair Then they all went off to war You can never have it all You can never have it all You can have some things some of the time You can have most things nearly all the time But you can't have it All of the time
