I`ve Endured

<br>Born in the mountains, many years ago <br>Climbed these hills and valleys through the rain and snow <br>I`ve seen the lightning flashin`, heard the thunder roll <br><br>I`ve endured, I`ve endured, how long must one endure <br><br>Barefoot in the summer, on into the fall <br>Too many mouths to feed, they couldn`t clothe us all <br>Sent to church on Sunday to learn the golden rule <br><br>I`ve endured, I`ve endured, how long must one endure <br><br>I`ve worked for the rich, I`ve lived with the poor <br>I`ve seen many heartaches and I`ll see many more <br>I`ve lived loved and sorrowed, been through success`s door <br><br>I`ve endured, I`ve endured, how long must one endure
