Lyrics My Younger Days - Sonny Boy Williamson

In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I know now
In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I know now
I wouldn't be standing around here
Begging for this little woman to let me in her house

Back in those days, I wished I'd knowed then like I know now
Back in those days, I wished I'd knowed then like I know now
The money I was throwing away
I could have saved it and bought my own house

And I'd have had a home in my younger days
I wish I knowed then like I know now, well
In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I knowed now
I wouldn't be standing 'round, begging this woman to let me in her house
