lyrics

The ladies are back in town
Sometimes I feel so down
My living is lonely
And you look so homely
You flirt with a broken smile
Your skirt hints at last year’s style
But farm work is fruitful
It keeps a girl youthful
There’s acres of fertile land
And labour for idle hands
There’s no time for chatter
But money’s no matter
I don’t want some upstart
Just some willing sweetheart
Who’s loving and graceful
Trusting and faithful
I know that I’m far from young
And half my song has now been sung
But God moves in mysterious ways
When you’re worn and feeling tired
There’s a warm place by the fire
Fit for you to live out your days
It’s time to leave your friends
Make excuses, make amends

The vixens are calling and nighttime is falling
It’s no time to be lecherous
These roads can be treacherous
Mors vincit omnia, mors vincit omnia
Mors vincit omnia
Don’t be caught unawares
Say goodbyes, say your prayers
Please heed my warning, you won’t see the morning
Don’t be too much surprised
When life flashes before your eyes
I know that I’m far from young
And half my song has now been sung
But God moves in mysterious ways
When you’re worn and feeling tired
There’s a warm place by the fire
Fit for you to live out your days
I know that I’m far from young
And half my song has now been sung
But God moves in mysterious ways
When you’re worn and feeling tired
There’s a warm place by the fire
Fit for you to live out your days
Mors vincit omnia, mors vincit omnia
Mors vincit omnia
