Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who'll walk me down to church, when I'm 60 years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me
Has been 10 years in the grave
And señorita play guitar, plays it just for you
My rosary has broken and my beads have all slipped through
[Verse 2]
You've hung up your great coat and you laid down your gun
You know the war you fought, wasn't too much fun
And the future you're giving me, holds nothing for a gun
I've no wish to be living 60 years on
[Verse 3]
Yes, I'll sit with you and talk let your eyes relive again
I know my vintage prayers would be very much the same
Magdelena plays the organ, plays it just for you
Your choral lamp that burns so low, when you are passing through
And, the future you're giving me, holds nothing for a gun
I've no wish to be living 60 years on
[Outro]
60 years on
60 years on
Oh yeah
60 years on
60 years on
Here I am
