When but a boy I courted Sally, my life

was young not quite sixteen.

We talked of things I sometimes dreamed of
A E
and things beyond my wildest dreams.

At seventeen I met Wynonna, her warm red

lips set me aglow.

She taught me things she should not teach me,
A E
more than a young man ought to know.
#3.
A E
At nineteen years my love was Sarah..she was
Dbm
much older than the rest.
E A E
Of all the men she said had kissed her, she
A E
loved the way I kissed her best.
BRIDGE:

Time has flown and I am older, my years are
Dbm E
five and thirty-five.

Too late, too late, I've met my lover, a woman
A E
very much alive.

A E
Lolene, Lolene, your name is music, your nearness
Dbm
makes my blood run wild.
E A E A
Alas, alas, I cannot claim you, compared to me
E
you're but a child.
OUTRO:

So, one last time I must be with you, and kiss
Dbm
the lips that thrilled my heart.
E A E
And then goodbye, no more to see you, forever,
A E
we must be apart.
