Still Rolling With The Flow

[straycat19]

In the late 70's, Charlie Rich released a song that became my theme song, and I did reach thirty despite everything, and I can't think of a better song to play at my funeral.  If you are interested in hearing it, it is on youtube.

 

Once was a thought inside my head
Fore I'd reach thirty I'd be dead
Now somehow on and on I go
I keep on rollin' with the flow

Folks said that I would change my mind
I'd straighten up and do just fine
Ahh, but I still love Rock And Roll
I keep on rollin' with the flow

While guys my age are raising kids
I'm raisin' hell just like I did
I've got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins

Some might be callin' me a bum
But I'm still out there havin' fun
And Jesus loves me, yes, I know
So, I keep on rollin' with the flow

While guys my age are raising kids
But I'm raisin' hell just like I did
I've got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins

Can't take it with you when you're gone
But I want enough to get there on
And I ain't ever growin' old
So, I keep on rollin' with the flow

I ain't ever growin' old
If I keep on rollin' with the flow
Keep on rollin' with the flow
Keep on rollin' with the flow

The Parting Glass By The Wailin' Jennys

Of all the money that e'er I spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I did
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

this will  the song at my last farewell
