The Wine Flowed Freely Lyrics - Marty Robbins

The days of my youth I remember so well 

We lived in a world all our own 

Nobody cared where my money came from 

If I had it I wasn't alone 

Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine 

How they all loved me back then 

But here in my prison I'm sitting alone 

And now where are all of my friends 

So drink and be merry if that is your wish 

Your souls, to the Lord, I commend 

Remember some day you may be as I am 

With nothing, not even a friend 

Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine 

How they all loved me back then 

But here in my prison I'm sitting alone 

And now where are all of my friends 

So here's to the freedom I never will have 

For me it's not long to the end 

But it's better to die then to spend forty years 

With the cold prison walls for a friend 

Oh, the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine 

How they all loved me back then 

But here in my prison I'm sitting alone 

And now where are all of my friends
