36 Inches High

Lyrics

Once I was a soldier
 I rode on a big white horse
 Silver pistols at my side
 Carryin' the flags of war
 And I Iost track of the men who fell
 In the canon's roar
 I never got over bein' a soldier
 Once I was a tax man
 Collectin' dollars and dimes
 I heard the rich man grumble
 I heard the poor man cry
 Some few couldn't afford to pay
 Were put to a shackle and key
 I never got over bein' a tax man
 Once I was a ruler
 About twelve inches long
 Three times me made a yardstick
 36 inches high
 36 inches high was I
 36 inches high
 I never got over 36 inches high
