Life's A Mystery Life's A Mystery Words and music by Clifford A Rubin Verse There once was a farmer with only one horse One day that horse ran away His neighbor came by to give his regrets The farmer shrugged and said, "Life's a mystery. Where it leads, we'll see." A few days later the horse returned With four mares and a colt His neighbor came by to celebrate The farmer shrugged as he spoke Chorus Life's a mystery.
