Sixty Years On
Who'll walk me down to church when I'm sixty years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me has been ten years in the grave
Señorita plays guitar, and plays it just for you
My rosary has broken and my beads have all slipped through
You've hung up your grey coat and you've laid down your gun
You know the war you fought in wasn't too much fun
Ah the future you're giving me holds nothing for a gun
I've no wish to be living sixty years on
Yes, I'll sit with you and talk, let your eyes relive again
I know my vintage prayer would be very much the same
Magdalena plays the organ, plays it just for you
My rosary has broken and my beads have all slipped through
Who'll walk me down to church when I'm sixty years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me has been ten years in the grave
'Cause the future you're giving me holds nothing for a gun
I've no wish to be living sixty years on
