A MAN CAN'T GROW OLD
>From the film "Station West" (1948)
(Leigh Harline / Mort Greene)


Burl Ives (Film Soundtrack) - 1948





It's heartless and cold
In the dust of the prairie
And a man can't grow old
Where there's women and gold

The story is told
In the dust of the prairie
That a man can't grow old
Where there's women and gold

When a man fights a man
Because of a woman
It means that the woman
Has made the man bold

But fightin's no good
'Cause it just leads to trouble
And a man can't grow old
Where there's women and gold

The Sun shinin' warm
On the dust of the prairie
The Sun shinin' warm
But it's heartless and cold

I's heartless and cold
In the dust of the prairie
And a man can't grow old
Where there's women and gold

No, a man can't grow old
Where there's women and gold
