NOT IN THIS LIFETIME
Milo Dunderville

Gather ‘round, my children
I’ve something to say
You all know Doc Flanagan
Well, I saw him today
I know you’ve been praying
But the news is not good
The cancer is spreading
Like he told us it would

So I’ll never play mandolin
For I’ll never learn how
Not in this lifetime
Now

James, you’re the oldest
You should take this today
It’s my father’s old mandolin
That he couldn’t play
But there was food on the table
And I’ll not forget
He said, “Know that I’m dying
Without one regret

“And I’ll never play mandolin
For I’ll never learn how
Not in this lifetime
Now”

Your sweet mother Mary
Was taken too soon
It hurts like it was yesterday
Not six years come June
So, children, don’t cry for me
I need you to know
If Mary is waiting there
I’m ready to go

And I’ll play her the mandolin
If God shows me how
In my next lifetime

What a great voice! Again the sample fits, but doesn’t seem to really fit with the rest of the instrumentation timbre wise. This is a very pretty song. Excellent oohs! Tasty drums this time too! Nice dynamics in the 3rd verse dropping the drums! I don’t really care much for the lyrics, but they are fine.
