Three days I dread to see arrive 
Three days I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow 
Yesterday today and tomorrow

There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days would end
'Cause the same three days start over again

Three days that I dread be alive 
Three days that I hate to see arrive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow 
Yesterday today and tomorrow

There are three days
Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days three days

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »
