Lyrics
Chorus
She may have seen better days
When she was in her prime
She may have seen better days
Once up a time
Though by the wayside she fell
She may yet mend her ways
Some poor old mother is waiting for her
Who has seen better days
3. The crowd went away, but I longer did stay
For from her I was loath to depart
I knew by her moan, as she sat there alone
That something was breaking her heart
She told me her life, she was once a good wife
Respected and honored by all
Her husband had fled ere they were long wed
And tears down her cheeks sadly fall
Performance
