Long Before I Was Born Lyrics

Long before I was born

In a city, I don't recall

They took a blanket

And put it over my head

And I forgot where I was

And I forgot who I was

I spoke to my family

The very next day

They called me another name

And I walked down Main Street

And I couldn't buy a sweet

Cause I didn't have a dime Suddenly yesterday

I read in the newspaper

"Annisette shot down

Before her home last night"

And suddenly today

I received a letter

Saying:

"Tell a very good lie

To the one you love

It makes her happy

But tell the truth

To the one you love

It makes her unhappy"
