Jesus Christ been here and gone

What a painful price to pay

He's 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 don't you bother me

I'm as tired as a man can be

I'm 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 don't you bother me

I'm as tired as a man can be

I'm as tired as a man can be
