Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you [bad word] And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
 [bad word] by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the [bad word] of dawn

Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you [bad word] And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed wove and strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands

Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you [bad word] And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo monk
To the winds that listened the best

Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you [bad word] And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
