Lyrics Once There Was A Time - Ten Years After

Once there was a time I′d rob my mama
For a good meal and a smoke
Once there was a time I'd sell my brother
For a dollar when I was broke

But I′d never sell my guitar
And my strings were always sharp
'Cause if I don't have a guitar
I′ll be strumming on some angels harp

And if I don′t get to heaven
And I go down there below
Better be a guitar when I get there
Or, I will refuse to go

Once there was a time I was hungry
And I'd find my food in some bin
But I′d never, never sell my guitar
'Cause that would, darling, that would be a sin
