Once there was a way To get back home Once there was a way To get back home Sleep pretty darlin' do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles to greet you when you rise Sleep, pretty darlin', do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Once there was a way To get back home Once there was a way To get back home Sleep pretty darlin' do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Hey boy, you got to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you got to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time I never give you my pillow I only send you my invitation And in the middle of the celebration I pray now Hey boy, you got to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Boy, you got to carry that weight Carry that weight a long time Oh, yeah Alright Are you gonna be in my dreams Tonight? Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Love you, love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you, love you And in the end The love we take Is equal to the love we make
