As recorded by: Merle Haggard
Writer: Lefty Frizzell
[C] Said an old man to a good-lookin' girl
Well, I've been around this big, wide [G] world
That [F] home on the hill, well, honey that's mine
I've [C] got the money if [G] you've got the [C] time.
CHORUS
Well, I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore
I can stlll get around like I did before
So come along with me my sweet, sweet hon
I'm an old, man lookin' for fun.
What I can do now, most young men can't
There's not a town this old boy can't paint
I can make all the night clubs any old time
I may be a little old but I'm doin' all right.
CHORUS
Well, I'm not too old to cut the mustard anymore
I can stlll get around like I did before
So come along with me, my sweet, sweet hon
I'm an old, old man lookin' for fun.
Don't take me wrong I just want have fun
Have someone along to help me spend my mon
'Cause you don't live but once, so please understand
That I'm an old, old man tryin' to live while I can.
