Sweet mama, lay your burden down,
|
Sweet mama, lay your burden down,
|
Just let me tell you 'bout some truth in life I've found,
|
Sweet mama, lord. set yourself right down.
|
Lord, pride, it ain't worth a US dime, lord no,
|
Well pride, it ain't worth a poor man's time
|
And it's misery to be so jealous all the time
|
Sweet mama, lord, be kind to your mind.
|
Sweet mama, lay your burden down,
|
Oh sweet mama, lord lay them trophies down,
|
You know it ain't no good to be givin' me that same old run-around,
|
Cause sweet mama, lay your burden down.
|
Sweet mama, lord, you're so feelin' fine
|
And I know that you think this is just a line,
|
But I only put these words into this little song,
|
To try, lord, and help us get along.
