Ten Years After - Once There Was A Time Lyrics
Once there was a time I'd rob my mama
For a good meal and a smoke
Once there was a time I'd sell my brother
For a dollar when I was broke
And my strings were always sharp
'Cause if I don't have a guitar
I'll be strumming on some angels harp
And if I don't get to heaven
And I go down there below
Better be a guitar when I get there
Or, I will refuse to go
Once there was a time I was hungry
But I'd never, never sell my guitar
'Cause that would, darling, that would be a sin

Ten Years After Once There Was A Time Comments
One of my all-time favorites
Great song from a equally great album. Ten Years After were one of the best groups ever.
Christ, let Alvin loose with this classic well thought out album. Man's a genius.
Had to buy the more expensive imports at first with Ten Years After...well worth it. Rest In Peace Alvin Lee who never let his fans down and gave us so much good music.
...Even when I was sticking needles into my veins, I didn't sell my guitars. Miss you Alvin. Rest In Peace.
I'd never sell my guitar, or my bass.
Once there was a time I'd rob my mother for a good meal and a smoke. Once there was a time I'd sell my brother for a dollar when I was broke. But I'd never sell my guitar and my strings were always sharp. 'Cause if I don't have a guitar, I'd be strumming on some angel's harp. And if I don't get to Heaven & I go down there below, better be a guitar when I get there or I will refuse to go. Once there was a time when I was hungry and I'd find my food in some bin, but I'd never, never sell my guitar 'cause that would, Lordy, that would be a sin.
March 6, 2013 Alvin Lee dies and "Once There Was a Time" rang true.
