Kingston Trio - It Was Very Good Year lyrics

When I was seventeen It was a very good year, It was a very good year For small town girls And soft summer nights. We'd hide from the lights On the village green When I was seventeen. When I was twenty-one, It was a very good year, It was a very good year For city girls who lived up the stair, With perfumed hair That came undone, When I was twenty-one. When I was thirty-five It was a very good year, It was a very good year For blue blooded girls Of independent means. We'd ride in limousines Their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five. But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of the year, And now I think of my life as Vintage wine from the old kegs, From the brim to the dregs It poured sweet and clear; It was a very good year.
