All Writ Down Lyrics - Singles - Incredible String Band

I fully understood 

That you'd leave when your ship come by 

And l fully understood 

You had a purpose more high 

Then to give a little schoolboy 

To give a little schoolboy his first love 

But oh, did I cry and did I cry 

For I thought that those days would just fade and die 

But every cell in my body has it all writ down 

Every smile and every frown 

And oh those good-time girls, oh, those good-time girls 

That book it sometimes makes me glad 

That book it sometimes makes me sad 

But oh, it don't read bad, oh, it don't read bad 

I cursed you to your face 

When you turned to go 

But I see now that you did just right 

And I bow to you low 

For you gave a little schoolboy 

You gave a little schoolboy his first love 

But oh, did I cry and did I cry 

For I thought that those days would just fade and die 

But every cell in my body has it all writ down 

Every smile and every frown 

And oh those good-time girls, oh, those good-time girls 

That book it sometimes makes me glad 

That book it sometimes makes me sad 

But oh, it don't read bad, oh, it don't read bad 

And oh, it don't read bad
