THE RUBETTES
"Sometime In Oldchurch"

Dear sweet sister release me
Save this old man agony
I've seen sunshine and I've seen rain
For such a long time I've been in pain

Brother, oh brother life's long friend
Help me 'round life's last bend

Threw up my life
You help me
Now to painless heaven
Oh release me

Life has been good
Life has been kind
When my life got tough
I did not mind

Now I'm old
Needing my death
Turn out my light
Take my last breath

Mother, oh mother
Good and kind
Leave these tired bones of pain
Far far behind

Father, oh father
All of my life you've shown
You've shown me the right direction
Please take me home
You've shown me the right direction
Please take me home.
