| I got myself a river of sorrow
|
| I lost my name in the valley of shame
|
| I got no one to tell my troubles
|
| A life of sinnin', all I know
|
| But if I’m patient
|
| I need not worry
|
| And if I’m hurting
|
| It’s sure to change
|
| Sometimes I wonder why do I bother
|
| With this burden, heavy load
|
| I can’t struggle with my tomorrow
|
| Because I’ve got so much further to go
|
| Well I’m leaving early in the morning
|
| Where I’m bound I just can’t tell
|
| I would stay here and keep on workin'
|
| But there’s no more water in the well
|
| But if I’m patient
|
| I need not worry
|
| And if I’m hurting
|
| It’s sure to change
|
| I had myself a river of sorrow
|
| I lost my name in a valley of blue
|
| I had no one who I could talk to
|
| A life of sinnin', all I knew
|
| A life of sinnin', all I knew
|
| A life of sinnin' was all that I knew |
