[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I have not come, yeah, to testify
About our bad, bad misfortune
And I ain't here a-wonderin' why
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
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear, oh no

[Guitar Solos]

[Refrain]
Oh but I'll live on, 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
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
