Chorus 1. (Sung)
CPity a man, for Ghe don't know, the tAmrouble he'll D7pass
going Gdown life's road
Verse 1. (Recitative)
GWhen a man is one and twenty, he thinks he Cknows it all;
He can't see D7down the road of life Gwhere he'll ever fall.
But fall he will, as he Ctravels through life. With Amall it's
pitfalls, D7troubles and strife.
GNow, at fifty, he's going Creal strong. He has D7him a family
and a Gnice little home; But old age is creepin' up his Cspine,
and the day is Dcomin' when the sGun won't shine.
GNow, at sixty, he won't Chave to guess; He's D7already missed
the boat Gthat leads to success; But he's done his best
and he Ccan't see why, the Amfame of life jD7ust passed him by.
NGow at seventy, he can see Cthe light and D7he knows he's Gnever
been very bright. But he's done his best as he's traveled by
Cand now, all he can Ddo is to Gsit and sigh.
Chorus 2. (sung)
CPity a man, for Ghe don't know, the Amtrouble he'll D7pass
going Gdown life's road.
Verse 2. (Recitative)
GNow at eighty, he's ready Cfor the reath. He's wore oD7ut his hair
and Gtwo sets of teeth; He has rheumatism in his hands Cand feet,
Amand nothin' sD7eems good to eat. GSo you can pity him as he goes
Cup the line. As he D7wobbles on the spindle and Ghe's almost blind.
And you can tell by the way that he travels aloneC, that it won't be
long Dbefore he's goin' Ghome. But if he's kept the commandments
as he's traveled Cthrough life, he'll have a D7home in Heaven
where there'll Gbe no strife. He's worked all his life to get
things the Cway he wants them; He comes here against Amhis will
D7and he goes away Gdisappointed.
