Lay My Burdens Down Songtext
von Max Stalling

I′m going down on the Nueces River
Gonna call my brother, ask him to meet me there
On the surface, we'll be two men fishing
Down below, we are brothers with a love to share

I′m gonna lay my burdens down now
Gonna ask the Lord to watch them a while
And I'm gonna walk where the sun is shining
And I'll be home when I′ve found a smile

There is a salt cedar tree that I know of
And it can take a breeze and make a melody
I′m gonna climb up in those branches
And ask if it would whisper its secrets to me


I'm gonna lay my burdens down now
Gonna ask the Lord to watch them a while
And I′m gonna walk where the sun is shining
And I'll be home when I′ve found a smile

There'll come a time when the world is level
There was a time when the mountains grew
Then there is all that is here in the middle
And how it′s spent is up to me and up to you

I'm gonna lay my burdens down now
I'm gonna ask the Lord, Lord, please watch them a while
I′m gonna walk, I′m gonna walk where the sun is shining
And I'll be home when I′ve found a smile
And I'll be home when I′ve found a smile
