I reckon I seen more light than any man alive!
Mornings, brown clouds fallin' away from the plough,
I seen it hit the rim of the world!
Evenings, purple light on the milk in the pail,
I used it to put the cows away.
Some men, they shot the most deer or had the most girls,
All pink and sweet under gingham dresses.
Some was voted president, or made the most money,
But, countin' up the whole eighty years
I reckon I seen more light than any man alive.
