All the Good Times are Past and Gone

Story Behind The Song

Not sure, as is the case with all these kinds of songs I have played many of in my family and with friends. I did record this one once with my dad, who sings a big deep old-timey bass and grew up with a little more of this kind of stuff on the radio in Kentucky than when I was a little Kentuckian listening to other things on our radio. I had to learn this kind of music from uncles and aunts and parents and records...

Lyrics

Don't you hear that passenger train
Coming around the bend
It's taking me away from this lonesome old town
To never return again

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

I wish to the Lord I never been born
Or died when I was young
I'd never have seen your sparkling blue eyes
Or heard your lying tongue

Chorus

Don't you see that lonesome dove
Flying from pine to pine
He's mourning for his own true love
Just like I mourn for mine

Chorus
