[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I have not come, yeah
To testify
About our bad, bad misfortune
And I ain't here a-wonderin' why

[Chorus]
But I'll live on
And I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear

[Verse 2]
I sat down and wrote you a long letter
It was just the other day
Said sure as the sunrise, baby
Tomorrow I'll be up and on my way

[Chorus]
But I'll live on
And I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear, oh no

[Guitar Solos]
[Chorus]
Oh, but I'll live on
And I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
Yes now, baby

[Verse 3]
But in the end, baby
Long towards the end of your road
Don't reach out for me, baby
'Cause I'm not gonna carry your load

[Chorus]
But I'll live on
And I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
I found someone else, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, go on by
My baby, uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, babe
