1 Lord, I'm bearin' heavy burdens,
Tryin' to get home;
Lord, I'm bearin' heavy burdens,
Tryin' to get home;
Lord, I'm bearin' heavy burdens,
Lord, I'm bearin' heavy burdens,
Lord, I'm bearin' heavy burdens,
Tryin' to get home.

2 Lord, I'm climbin' high mountains,
Tryin' to get home;
Lord, I'm climbin' high mountains,
Tryin' to get home;
Lord, I'm climbin' high mountains,
Lord, I'm climbin' high mountains,
Lord, I'm climbin' high mountains,
Tryin' to get home.

3 Lord, I'm standin' hard trials,
Tryin' to get home;
Lord, I'm standin' hard trials,
Tryin' to get home;
Lord, I'm standin' hard trials,
Lord, I'm standin' hard trials,
Lord, I'm standin' hard trials,
Tryin' to get home.
