-35No Regrets It was a fatal day, I took a look in her eyes. They were green as they could be. Let me tell you, fellows, so was I. Time passed by and by We tried to stay together. You can take bets on it. Good help’s hard to get, ’Less you got no regrets in your life. Like the time I cried When my daddy he died. Such a common thing—the tears it brings Can be hard to hide. I hadn’t seen my dad, and I was feelin’ bad Till I heard him whisper in the wind, “Son, no need to fret. You owe me no debt. Only have no regrets in your life.” My mama told me, “Son, don’t make the same mistake twice.” I try to stay amused. I do what I want, But I pay my prices. At least that’s what they say. Sometimes I feel that way. And I remember the folks that I met. Well, I been out tradin’ nickels for sets, And I got no regrets in my life.
