Yes I used to know a fellow He was lighter on his feet Just as quick as a sparrow That was a former me Since I've been here for so long now Now I think that I can see Acquaint myself with that fellow Who was a former me Those days have been lost in my mind The fancy man I won't deny When I think about it nowadays Can recall it for a while From the dawn to the sunset of my life It's a trip I could not see Not 'til later did I recognize the guy That was a former me Those days have been lost in my mind The fancy man I won't deny When I think about it nowadays Can recall it for a while Since I've been here for so long now Now I think that I can see Acquaint myself with that fellow Who was a former me
