Cat. #1115 (MFH #775) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on April 9, 1970
VERSE 1
I thought I'd seen pretty girls, in my time
But that was before I met you
I never wanted one for my own
But that was before I met you
VERSE 2
I thought I was swinging th world by th tail
Thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed an' I thought I'd been hugged
But that was before I met you
VERSE 3
I wanted to ramble always n' be free
That was before I met you
I said, that no woman could ever hold me
That was before I met you
VERSE 4
That tell me that I must reap what I sew
But darling I hope their not true
For once't I made plans about livin' alone
But that was before I met you
