Chorus:
4
Pity a man for he don't know
5
The trouble he'll pass going down life's road
6
When a man is one and twenty, he thinks he knows it all
7
He can't see down the road of life where he'll ever fall
8
But fall he will as he travels through life
9
With all its pitfalls troubles and strife
10
Now at fifty, he's going real strong
11
He has him a family and a nice little home
12
But old age is creeping up his spine
13
And the day is coming when the sun won't shine
14
Now at sixty, he won't have to guess
15
He's already missed the boat that leads to success
16
But he's done his best and he can't see why
17
The fame of life just passed him by
18
Now at seventy, he can see the light
19
And he knows he's never been very bright
20
But he's done his best as he's travelled by
21
And now all he can do is just sit and sigh
22
Repeat chorus...
23
Now at eighty, he's ready for the wreath
24
He's wore out his hair and two sets of teeth
25
He has rheumatism in his hands and feet
26
And nothing seems good to eat
27
So you can pity him as he goes up the line
28
As he wobbles on the spindle and he's almost blind
29
And you can tell by the way that he travels alone
30
That it won't be long before he's going home
31
But if he's kept the commandments as he's travelled through life
32
He'll have a home in heaven where there'll be no strife
33
He's worked all his life to get things the way he wants them
34
He comes here against his will and he goes away disappointed
