Lyrics

Lift this Burden

Lift these burdens off of my back
I?m gonna pick you up like a gunny sack
Lay down with you in these rivers and streams

I?m just a dog and you?re a goose
Won?t you marry me?
Ride this old caboose
Won?t you find the time to come and set me free?

Holy Mary won?t you carry me home?
I?m all worn out don?t wanna roam
My train was late and my ticket was sold

Won?t you ride in my old caboose
Engine runnin? like Canadian moose
Won?t you find the time to come and set me free?

I see you smile at the break of day
Touch your face I hear you say:
?Won?t you let me ride in that old caboose?
I?m tired of carrying these worn-out blues
This ragged dress, these scruffy shoes
The night is here! Set me free!?
