christone “kingfish” ingram – before i’m old lyrics
[verse 1]
i was born at the turn of the century
lucky to be born at all
grew up way down in mississippi
when i heard robert johnson call
i’ve seen a lot and i’ve done a lot
too young to lay down in that hole
i’m just trying to fly high and not die
before i’m old
[verse 2]
breaking rocks on a chain gang
up until the sun went down
too many souls are buried
in the dirt poor delta ground
i’ve seen a lot and i’ve done a lot
just too young to lay down in that hole
i’m just trying to fly high and not die
before i’m old
[guitar solo]
[verse 3]
i put lightning back in bottles
poke rattlesnakes just for fun
people say i got an old soul
and i ain’t even twenty-one
but i’ve seen a lot and i done a lot
just ain’t ready for the hole, no i ain’t
i’m just trying to fly high and not die
i’m just trying to fly high and not die
i’m just trying to fly high and not die
before i’m old
