Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine Lyrics - The Unreleased Recordings - Hank Williams

Travelin' down a lonely high-way 

I knew not where the road would end 

Not a penny in my pocket 

All a-lone without a friend 

In a little country village 

I met a man and he was blind 

As I helped him cross the high-way 

Oh! lord I cried his burdens are greater than mine. 

I can see the light of day 

I need not feel my way 

Yes, thy burdens are greater than mine.

Met a lad while on my travels 

Tryin' hard to play the game 

Though his leg was very crippled 

And he could not speak his name 

Yet, he smiled in understandin' 

Though life to him had been unkind 

And as I watched, I cried in sorrow 

Oh! lord his burdens are greater than mine. 

I can speak my name aloud 

Make my way among the crowd 

Yes, his burdens are greater than mine. 

Photos 

Just by chance I passed a graveyard 

I saw a young man kneelin' there 

In his hand, there were some roses 

On his lips, there was a prayer 

On a stone, these words were written 

'your soul is god's, your mem'ry mine' 

And as I watched, I cried in sorrow 

Oh! lord I see his burdens are greater than mine.
