[00:28.50]Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
[00:33.50]She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
[00:39.50]Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
[00:45.50]And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
[00:51.50]I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand
[00:56.50]They say working's best cause poverty is hell on a man
[01:02.50]Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan
[01:08.50]And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned
[01:25.10]I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain
[01:31.50]She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames
[01:37.50]When the boiler blew some people started naming names
[01:42.50]But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame
[01:50.50]I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown
[01:54.50]A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns
[02:00.50]But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down
[02:06.50]They say the best is for the best but that's not what I've found
[02:47.20]Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst
[02:53.50]I don't spend time listening to other people's words
[02:59.50]Sometimes they're right most times the reverse
[03:05.50]They say the best is for the best when the best's for the worse
[03:11.50]Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
[03:16.50]She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
[03:22.50]Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
[03:28.50]And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
[03:34.50]Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
[03:40.50]Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times

Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
