Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty, darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty, darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty, darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
(Boy, you're gonna carry that weight) oh
(Carry that weight for a long time) oh
(Boy, you're gonna carry that weight) Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) carry that weight for a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break, I break, I break down
(Boy, you're gonna carry that weight) oh boy, you're gonna carry
I'm gonna carry that weight
(Carry that weight for a long time) carry that weight a long time
(Boy, you're gonna carry that weight) boy
(Boy, you're gonna carry that weight) carry that weight
Carry that weight for a long time
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
And I will sing a lullaby
