Ramblin' Jack Elliott - I Threw It All Away lyrics

I once held her in my arms She said she would always stay But I was cruel, I treated her like a fool I threw it all away Once I held mountains in the palm of my hand And rivers that ran through every day I must have been mad, I never knew what I had Until I threw it all away Why, until I threw it all away Love is all there is, it makes the world go 'round Love and only love, can't be denied No matter what you think about it You just won't be able to do without it Take a tip from one who's tried So if you find someone that gives you all of her love Take it to your heart, don't let it stray One thing for certain, you will surely be a-hurtin' If you throw it all away, if you throw it all away If you throw it all away!
