I've Endured / Ola Belle Reed
Born in the mountains, many years ago
Climbed these hills and valleys through the rain and snow
I've seen the lightning flashin', heard the thunder roll
I've endured, I've endured, how long must one endure
Barefoot in the summer, on into the fall
Too many mouths to feed, they couldn't clothe us all
Sent to church on Sunday to learn the golden rule
I've endured, I've endured, how long must one endure
I've worked for the rich, I've lived with the poor
I've seen many heartaches and I'll see many more
I've lived loved and sorrowed, been through success's door
I've endured, I've endured, how long must one endure

This vid has been alive for 8 years. The view count should be a lot higher.

Bravo to these Frenchmen! All very good musicians; well-played, well-sung version of this great song. I especially liked the banjo intro and the close-up camera shots.

[@SweetRiverBand]

Thanks you Miles from New Orleans 🤠

I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the banjo intro, but I actually borrowed it from my friend Dirk Powell (to whom I give my heartfelt thanks) in the Tim O'Brien's version.
