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
