When the Brothers were receiving an award at Dollywood for their gospel music, a reporter asked each of them what song they would like to have sung at their funeral. This one was Harold's answer.
How blessed are those of us who can agree with what this song relates! From a fan who is 6 years older than Harold, got to see them in concert, and has also"Had A Good Time"! Comfort and strength to the loved ones he has left waiting to join him at God's chosen time.
What a great song to play this day ...June 5th ,,,Don Reids Birthday .. Happy Birthday Mr Don Reid ..may you celebrate many more ....now go 'Have a Good Time ' ...

Been Blessed
I've Had A Good Time
The Statler Brothers
Sometimes I find myself just sittin' all alone and wondering
Tryin' hard to figure out my life and what it means
It's not the things I never got the chance to do that matter
It's the things I took the chance to do that matter most to me
I've had a good time had a good life had a good home had a good wife
Had a little rain had a little sun had a little sin I had a little fun
I've been up on cloud nine been down on my luck
Made a few friends made a few bucks
Been fell in love a couple of times I've had a good time
I've had a good time had a good ride sometimes I lost sometimes I won
Wrote a few songs that still get sung I didn't give up and I didn't die young
I've been up I've been down I've been to the wall
But I've been blessed Lord through it all
Even fell in love two or three more times I've had a good time
I've had a good time had a good ride sometimes I laughed sometimes I cried
Sometimes I looked sometimes I touched sometimes I took just a little too much
But I never look back got no regrets well maybe a few but even yet
I'd love to do it again just one more time I've had a good time
Let's sing this song one more time and have a good time
I've had a good time had a good ride sometimes I laughed sometimes I cried
Sometimes I looked sometimes I touched sometimes I took just a little too much
But I never look back got no regrets well maybe a few but even yet
I'd love to do it again just one more time I've had a good time
I'd love to do it again just one more time I've had a good time

I followed the Statler Brothers since the Early 1960's. I don't remember ever hearing this song!!! It is true Statler Brothers, though. :-)
I wish there was a video to this song that had the lyrics posted up on the screen so I could read them and sing along with the guys.
RIP Harold
I love, love this song!
