Al Duvall - Times Aint Like They Used To Was Lyrics

My name is Otmer Blonda, I’m the oldest man alive
The Lord plugged in the sun and moon when I was twenty-five
And Joan of Arc was my old flame
I fed the pilgrims when they came
I wrote the writing on the wall
So don’t tell me you know it all ‘cause I’m the man who does
And times ain’t like they used to was

The good old days were better and the bad ones weren’t so worse
The horses coughed up applеs when you threw ‘em in rеverse
The pay was good the work was light
It only rained on Sunday night
The rabbits ran up to the hounds
The peaches weighed a hundred pounds and you could wear the fuzz
But times ain’t like they used to was

My name is Otmer Blonda, how the ladies ran me down
Was bred in the country and the toast of the town
It wasn’t hard to make them mine
A jug of corn, a loaf of swine
They’d love me up and beg for more
They’d swarm like flies around my door but they no longer buzz
Oh, times ain’t like they used to was

While shanking down the cattail road, I’ve passed a lot of fools
The game has always been the same, they never learn the rules
The groove is worn, the record’s thin
But still it has to play again
My lonesome journey makes me cry
So stake my heart and hope to die, I can’t go on because
Times ain’t like they used to was
Oh, times ain't like they used to was
