I've been a lot of places seen a lot of faces
Had a lot of lovers in my time
Some have been good friends to me
Some have been my enemies
I wish you could have seen me in my prime
I've been in love so many times
Without much reason or much rhyme
Was the pleasure really worth the pain
Yet she just turned and smiles for me
Says wait a little while for me
Sweet Jesus here I go again
She says Pilgrim where you've been so long
And I say woman just found out where I belong
She says Pilgrim, She says Pilgrim
I've sat at many tables
Taking pleasure while I'm able
But always ending with the same sad song
But if the wine's worth the drinking
Just remember when your sinking
That the dark is deepest just before dawn
I've been in love so many times
Without much reason or much rhyme
Was the pleasure really worth the pain
Yet she just turned and smiles for me
Says wait a little while for me
Sweet Jesus here I go again
She says Pilgrim where you've been so long
And I say woman just found out where I belong
She says Pilgrim, She says Pilgrim.
