My Heavy Load Songtext
von Big Mama Thornton

Packing up my trouble, moving on down the road
Mmm, moving on down the road
Yeah, I′m looking for a place
Child, to dump this heavy load

Yeah, why do I worry? Why do I have to cry?
Oh-oh, why do I worry? Oh, why do I have to cry?
You know I was good to the man I love
I wonder why did he have to say goodbye

Oh-oh, why do I have to carry this heavy load?
Oh-oh, why do I have to carry this heavy load?
Say I'm gonna keep on traveling
Down this old lonesome road

Hey, hey, hey

Mmm, I get worried sometime


You know my burden is getting awful heavy
Lord, I know I′m so weary
You know, my baby's gone
Oh, but my burden is heavy
Hey, hey

Traveling on down this lonesome road
Traveling on down that lonesome road
Yeah, hey, baby, I got to ease my heavy load
Yeah, hey, baby, I got to dump this heavy load
Yeah, hey, baby, I wonder where can I lose this heavy load

And down that lonesome road
Down that lonesome road
Down that lonesome road
Down that lonesome road
Down that lonesome road
Down that lonesome road
Down that lonesome road

I got to lose this load
I got to lose, got to lose
I got to lose, I got to lose
Got to lose, got to lose
I got to lose this heavy load

Down that road
