about

My high school buddy Jeremy Strichartz wrote this and many other brilliant songs before he ad turned 17. I've been singing it since high school.

lyrics

Three Score and Ten (Jeremy Strichartz)

If I should fall down dying
Before my time should come
I thought I was a falling star
Not a setting sun

And if I should fall down dying
Before my time should come
There’s just one thing I’ll ask of you
Finish the work I’ve done

“Three score and ten,” said the Lord
“These are the days of men,” said the Lord
“Three score and ten,” said the Lord.

I went on to the city
My fortune for to find
I thought I’d drown my troubles In bottles full of wine
Oh, I went on to the city
My fortune for to find
I heard a voice a’callin’
Put worries on my mind
