[Verse 1]
Jesus Christ been here and gone
What a painful price to pay
He's left his life in a thunderstorm
With just cold dark eyes upon him
Swing pendulum, swing low
Got no place to call my own
Oh my Lord, don't you bother me
I'm as tired as a man can be
I'm as tired as a man can be

[Verse 2]
Jesus Christ been here and gone
What a painful place to leave
There's frost on the limbs of a cherry tree
And this cold, cold wind is burying me
Swing pendulum, swing slow
Got no time to call my own
Oh my Lord, don't you bother me
I'm as tired as a man can be
I'm as tired as a man can be
