ONCE UPON A TIME BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

once upon a time
once upon a time
once upon a time
the girl I had was mine
once upon a time

once upon a time
everything was fine
the sun rose in the morning and
the water turned to wine
once upon a time

once upon a time
I had a love so true
I was so warm and happy
didn't know what I should do
once upon a time

once upon a time
the dragon came to door
didn't know he's coming
and I fell upon my sword
didn't know what it was for

once upon a time
my woman took my child
my house crumbled to sand
I went living in the wild
once upon a time

once upon a time
I was hungry wet and cold
I looked into the mirror
and the man there was so old
once upon a time

so if you wake up blind
in jail for a crime
one last cup of coffee
if you only had a dime
long long past your prime

remember to the day
when you was still okay
get back down upon your knees
and pray brother pray
and listen what I say

once upon a time
and that time is now
appreciate what you been got
cause if you don't know how
this is all the time allotted
that you are allowed....

Good idea

Certainly a blues theme with life's evil course bearing down. Would like to see the word "lot" somehow used in the last stanza to rhyme with got.
