My Younger Days - John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I know now

In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I know now

I wouldn’t be standing around here

Begging for this little woman to let me in her house

Back in those days, I wished I’d knowed then like I know now

Back in those days, I wished I’d knowed then like I know now

The money I was throwing away

I could have saved it and bought my own house

And I’d have had a home in my younger days

I wish I knowed then like I know now, well

In my younger days, I wished I knowed then like I knowed now

I wouldn’t be standing 'round, begging this woman to let me in her house
