All the Good Times Are Past and Gone Lyrics by Bill Monroe

Bluegrass 1959-1969

1967

[Verse 1]
I wish to the Lord I'd never been born
Or died when I was young
I never would have seen your sparklin' blue eyes
Or heard your lyin' tongue
[Chorus]
All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darling, don't you weep no more
[Banjo Solo]
[Verse 2]
See that lonesome turtle dove
Come flyin' from pine to pine
He's mournin' for his own true love
Just like I mourn for mine
[Chorus]
All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darling, don't you weep no more
[Mandolin Solo]
[Verse 3]
Come back, come back my own true love
Come and stay awhile with me
For if ever I've had a friend in this world
You've been a friend to me
[Chorus]
All the good times are past and gone
All the good times are o'er
All the good times are past and gone
Little darling, don't you weep no more
