Sixty Years On Lyrics
Who will walk me down to church,
When I’m sixty years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me,
Has spent ten years in the grave.
Senorita play guitar, and plays it just for you.
My rosary has broken and my beads are all slipped through.
You hung up your great coat and you lay down your gun.
I know the war you fought in and it wasn’t to much fun,
Oh the future you’re given me holds nothin’ for a gun,
I’ve no wish to be livin’ sixty years on.
Guess I’ll sit with you and talk, let your eyes relive again.
I know my vintage prayer would be very much the same;
Magdalena play the organ, plays it just for you,
My rosary has broken and my beads are all slipped through.
Who will walk me down to church when I’m sixty years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me, has spent ten years in the grave.
Cause the future you’re given me holds nothin’ for a gun.
I’ve no wish to be livin’ sixty years on.
When I’m sixty years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me,
Has spent ten years in the grave.
Senorita play guitar, and plays it just for you.
My rosary has broken and my beads are all slipped through.
You hung up your great coat and you lay down your gun.
I know the war you fought in and it wasn’t to much fun,
Oh the future you’re given me holds nothin’ for a gun,
I’ve no wish to be livin’ sixty years on.
Guess I’ll sit with you and talk, let your eyes relive again.
I know my vintage prayer would be very much the same;
Magdalena play the organ, plays it just for you,
My rosary has broken and my beads are all slipped through.
Who will walk me down to church when I’m sixty years of age?
When the ragged dog they gave me, has spent ten years in the grave.
Cause the future you’re given me holds nothin’ for a gun.
I’ve no wish to be livin’ sixty years on.

I put up these lyrics and would just like to say that these are NOT the lyrics in the CD cover, they were not what the version I have is saying so I found out my own for this website.
I also think that I may have the meaning of the song. I think it is about a woman wanting to fight for her country but can't because of an oppresive husband or father.
