Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Chorus]
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Verse 2]
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
[Chorus]
(Boy, you're gonna carry that weight) Oh
(Carry that weight a long time) Oh, boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
[Verse 3]
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break, I break, I break down
[Bridge]
Oh, boy, you're gonna, you're gonna carry that weight (Boy, you're gonna carry that weight)
(Carry that weight a long time) Carry that weight a long time
(Boy, you're gonna carry that weight) Boy, carry that weight
(Carry that weight a long time) Carry that weight a long time, oh
[Outro]
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home (Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry)
And I will sing a lullaby, mmm
