When I've Learned Enough to Die

Ferlin Husky · Memories of Home [Capitol] [1961]

(Buddy Killen - Ray Baker - Delbert Wilson)



I've met the Master on my knees

Been tested and been tried

I've seen the God of heaven

Paint the fields and country side.



I've been the husband of a wife

Heard my newborn baby cry

But when I've learned enough to really live

I'll be old enough to die, old enough to die.



I'm just a plain hard working man

No stopping place have I found

Although I'm tired I'm still inspired

At night when I lie down.



I've learned to like it on God's earth

Sometimes I wonder why

When I've learned enough to really live

I'll be old enough to die, old enough to die.



When I've learned enough to really live

I'll be old enough to die, old enough to die...
