Lyrics:
Dolly Parton In The Good Old Days

So I long for a love that I never had In the good old days when times were bad Repeat chorus Tag: In the good old days when times were bad In the good old days

The memories that I have of then No amount of money could pay me To go back and live through it again In the good old days when times were bad In the good old days

Translation: Parton, Dolly. In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad).

The memories that I have of then No amount of money could pay me To go back and live through it again In the good old days when times were bad In the good old days

Our love affair is bitter sweet Insecure and incomplete And I've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed It's all become so complicated

I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widow wife Who had a teenage daughter that attended Harper Valley Junior High Well her daughter

Now I've never stepped through the doors of a barroom or tasted the flavor of wine And I've never danced to the songs on a jukebox or held someone that

time Gather round girls You I grew up with My old friends that I used to scuff with Need you round me At this time You've all had your turn to cry An old

it won't let me be So mama when you pray tonight Say a special prayer for me I miss your tender good-night kiss of love and understanding The good-night
