The days of my youth I remember so well We lived in a world all our own Nobody cared where my money came from If I had it I wasnt alone Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine How they all loved me back then But here in my prison Im sitting alone And now where are all of my friends So drink and be merry if that is your wish Your souls, to the Lord, I commend Remember some day you may be as I am With nothing, not even a friend Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine How they all loved me back then But here in my prison Im sitting alone And now where are all of my friends So heres to the freedom I never will have For me its not long to the end But its better to die then to spend forty years With the cold prison walls for a friend Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine How they all loved me back then But here in my prison Im sitting alone And now where are all of my friends
