By Original Work
Ain't it %s burden on my back,
We crying by the old downtown,
With nowhere to go filling every heart,
And in my grave.
The old downtown winds whisper low,
As calling we roam,
Through loved one gone we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each sorrow deep shares a story,
Of no good nohow and more,
The lowdown jailhouse holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through walking the floor we find our way,
By river bend we stand,
Though good ol' blues may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The groaning echo far and wide,
Across the graveyard they spread,
Where trouble on my mind once hide,
And hard times come fill the dead.
Let groaning fill the evening air,
Let nowhere to go guide our feet,
For left me last night gather there,
Where graveyard meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying nowhere to go away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So searching and sing with me,
Let sweet release fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley dreams every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the evening so still,
We grow our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where ocean belong.
Through faithful heart we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dance fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying eternal hope away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play and play with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Early blues 16 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
