Lyrics:

Standing on the mountain, far as I can see
Standing on the mountain, just as far as I can see
Dark clouds are builin', clouds all around poor me

Feelin' low and weary, Lord, I got trouble in mind
Feelin' low and weary, Lord, I've got a trouble in mind
Everythin's a-gettin' weary, but it's so unkind

All this time's comin' and they'll catch me unprepared
All this time's comin' and will catch me unprepared
Haven't made a dollar, babe, luck is all I'll have

Lord, how can I burry him? Lord willin', the harvest bring
Lord, how can I bury? Lord, what will the harvest bring?
Spent up all my money and I haven't got a doggone thing

I'm a weary traveller, runnin' round from place to place
I'm a weary traveller, runnin' round from place to place
If I don't find somethin' that will ...

Ain't got no mother, father left me long ago
Ain't got no mother, father left me long ago
I'm just backin' off, oh, where my folks is I don't know

Blues around my shoulders, blues are all around my head
Blues around my shoulders, blues are all around my head
With my heavy burden, Lord, I wish that I was dead
