THERE'LL BE TROUBLES EVEN
| THEN.
When a little boy told my Paw
How glad 1 was going to be
When 1 got to be a great big man
As big as him and me
And didn't have to go to school
And study all day long
A9d get a, e whiPF PPM II t. should do
The tears came in my Paws eyes
What in Blazes is the difference
There'n be troubles even them!
There are troubles in the spring time
When the dust blows in your eyes
There are troubles in the tbs, summer i1
There are troubles in the autumn
When the whole worlds gone to seed
There are troubles in the winter
With the ice you do not need.
So think what Paw. he told me
When a little boy of ten
What in Blazes is the difference
There'n be troubles even then"
So forget about the weather man
And all he has to say.
Forget about the storms and grief
Forget about this life of ours
That's full of grief and strife
And Just remember todays today
The best day of your life.
So when thinking of the future
This is all you really pen ,
What in BlaZeS In the difference
Theren be troubles even then"
