Wish to the Lord I'd Never Been Born Wish to the Lord I'd never been born Or died when I was a baby. Wouldn't been left to share this care Or to eat somebody's old gravy. Wisht I'd never been a co-op Or listened to T. H. Wilson. I'd a-been riding in a four-horse dray And a-paying my bills and a-whistling. Never sow on an open floor You just wait till fall, I'm a-gonna ride in Delaware I can hear Sam Robinson call. I want to hear Sam Robinson say I'm gonna drive in the White Oak Mountain. You been a durn fool all of your days You can drink right at this fountain. Henry Payne carries the mail, Sometimes drives a mule. Ain't got time to cuss no more I'm busy in this pool. Wish to the Lord I'd never been born Or died when I was a baby. Wouldn't been left to share this care Or to eat somebody's old gravy. recorded by Bob Coltman SOF
