Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine - The Stanley Brothers

In a little country village

I met a man and he was blind

As I helped him cross the highway

I cried thy burdens are greater than mine

I can see the light of day

And I need not feel my way

Yes thy burdens

Saw a lad well on his travels

Trying hard to play the game

Though his leg was very crippled

And he could not speak his name

Still he smiled in understanding

Though life to him had been unkind

As I watched I thought in sorrow

Son thy burdens

I can speak my name aloud

Make my way among the crowd

Yes thy burdens

Just by chance I passed a graveyard

Saw a young man kneeling there

In his hand there were some roses

On his lips there was a prayer

On a stone these words were written

My soul is God’s my memory thine

As I watched I thought in sorrow

Friends thy burdens

I’m just a drifter all alone

I got no friends I got no home

Yes thy burdens Â…
