Wine Flowed Freely

All the days of my youth I remember so well

I lived in a world all my own

Nobody cared where my money came from

When I had it I wasn’t alone

Oh the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine

How they all loved me back then

But here in this prison I sit all alone

And now where are all of my friends

So drink and be merry if this is your wish

Or waste your young life out in sin

But remember someday you may be as I am

With nothing not even a friend

Oh the wine flowed freely and friendship was mine

How they all loved me back then

But here in this prison I sit all alone

And now where are all of my friends

So here’s to the freedom I never shall have

I know it’s not long till the end

But I’d rather be dead than to spend ninety years

With the cold prison walls for a friend
