Lyrics In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad) - Dolly Parton
We'd
get
up
before
sun-up
to
get
the
work
done
up
We'd
work
in
the
fields
'til
the
sun
had
gone
down
We've
stood
and
we've
cried
as
we
have
bristly
watched
A
hailstorm
beatin'
our
crops
to
the
ground
We've
gone
to
bed
hungry
many
nights
in
the
past
In
the
good
old
days
when
times
were
bad
No
amount
of
money
could
buy
from
me
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
I've
seen
daddy's
hands
break
open
and
bleed
And
I've
seen
him
work
'til
he's
stiff
as
a
board
And
I've
seen
momma
layin'
in
suffer
and
sickness
In
need
of
a
doctor
that
we
couldn't
afford
Anything
at
all
was
more
than
we
had
In
the
good
old
days
when
times
were
bad
We've
got
up
before
and
found
ice
on
the
floor
Where
the
wind
would
blow
snow
through
the
cracks
in
the
wall
And
I've
walked
many
miles
to
an
old
country
school
With
my
lunch
in
the
bib
of
my
overalls
Anything
at
all
was
more
than
we
had
In
the
good
old
days
when
times
were
bad
No
amount
of
money
could
buy
from
me
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
when
times
were
bad
In
the
good
old
days
when
times
were
bad
In
the
good
old
days
