CHORUS



I was walkin down the road a carryin

The load that my father had a given me

The night before I packed and left the home

Of my childhood, home of my birth.

The place in the back of the store

Where we would work

Until the night time darkness

Brought the end of day

Now, Let Us Pray



When my brother was a kid

Well he often went and hid in the backyard

Settin' at the feet of my father

And my mother would appear

Oh to sooth away the fear

That my father had a started

Pretty soon the trouble parted

And while sittin' at the evenin supper table

He'd say Now Let Us Pray!



Oh Pray For Me Burly



CHORUS



Now I travel all alone

A thinkin of the home

That my Mom and Dad were given

In the times they were livin'

And the backyard swing and the happiness

Is bringin' out a whole bunch of presents

For the holiday

Remember Mom and Daddy

Are livin' and it's time now to say

Let Us Pray



Our Religion Is Music
