Oh Lord,
I God, here I stand today
Once more, and again,
and one more time
Many years ago I stood here
And told men and women
all over land and country
Don't wait too long, some hurt me
And some are still going astray
Since then, my father,
I've been traveling all around
From town to town, day and night
Sometime all night long, my father
And there's one thing I want to say today
I must go home,
but you know I'm so tired
I'm so tired
Oh, Lord, I can't stop now
Oh, my father,
I done got so tired
Sometime I feel like I wanna come
home and rest a little while
Oh, Lord, because you know
You know I done got so tired
One thing, give me a little
consolation in life
Lord, I know my work should be done
Oh dear Jesus, Lord,
I know my I'm satisfied
because I know my race should be run
But right now, right now, right now,
right now, right now
Right now, now, right now, right now
I'm so tired, Lord, I'm so tired
Jesus, you know my whole
family misunderstand me
Just like I know your family
misunderstand you sometime
out there too
But I'm glad I know
someone who really cares
And when I'm burdened,
all of my burdens you help me share
I take all my burdens to the Lord
Lay them down at his feet
And I can leave them right there
Telling God I done got so tired, so tired
Oh Lord, I done got,
Lord I done got so tired
Yes, I, yes, I, yes, I, yes, I, I'm so tired, boy, I'm tired,
I'm tired of giving up life for all.
Once in a while I stand on a high, no,
you know, you know all about that,
and you know all about that.
One more thing I want to
tell you, listen.
Often I've made mistakes in my life
Oh Lord, my God, sometimes I know
I haven't did things that was right
But it's one thing that
I know without a doubt
I know you was kind enough
to spare my life
And of all of my traveling,
all of my going from place to place
You've been right by my side,
helped me with your grace
Lord, and I know, I know, I know,
I know when it's over
Will you give me a rest in a place
because I'm so tired
I done got, I done got, I done got,
I done got so tired
so tired, so tired, so tired
I'm so tired
Oh, yes I am, I am
