Jesus christ been here and gone

What a painful price to pay

Hes left his life in a thunderstorm

Tears cold dark eyes upon

Swing pendulum, swing low

Got no place to call my own

Oh my lord dont you bother me

Im as tired as a man can be

Im as tired as a man can be

Jesus christ been here and gone

What a painful place to leave

With frost on the limbs of a cherry tree

This cold, cold wind is buryin me

Swing pendulum, swing slow

Got no time to call my own

Oh my lord dont you bother me

Im as tired as a man can be

Im as tired as a man can be
