It's a cold old world that we're walking through

They ought to tell you at the start

But it's warm as toast walkin' two by two

Lay down the burden of your heart



Lay down the burden of your heart

I know you'll never miss it

Just show me, angel, where it hurts

And let your mammy kiss it



It's a fine fine line between love and hate

It's hard to tell the two apart

But what strength I have I offer you

Lay down the burden of your heart



Lay down the burden of your heart

I know you'll never miss it

Just show me, angel, where it hurts

And let your mammy kiss it



Lay down the burden of your heart

I know you'll never miss it

Just show me, angel, where it hurts

And let your mammy kiss it
