I’ve Endured lyrics

[Verse]
Born in the mountains
Fifty years ago
I've trod the hills and valleys
Through the rain and snow
Seen the lightning flashing
I've heard the thunder roll

[Chorus]
I've endured
I've endured
How long can one endure?

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Barefoot in the summer
On in to the fall
Too many mouths to feed
They couldn't clothe us all
Sent to church on Sunday
To learn the Golden Rule

[Chorus]
I've endured
I've endured
How long can one endure?
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
I've worked for thе rich
I've lived with the poor
I'vе seen many a heartache
There'll be many a more
I've lived, loved, and sorrowed
Been to success's door

[Chorus]
I've endured
I've endured
How long can one endure?

[Outro]
I've endured
I've endured
How long can man endure?
