Calvary Lyrics - Dirt Farmer - Levon Helm

(Byron Isaacs) 

Every man will see the day 

That his hopes are dashed away 

No word can bring him peace 

No man can set him free 

Some will ramble far from home 

Work their fingers to the bone 

Some will numb their hearts with wine 

To distract their troubled minds 

Take me down to Calvary 

Take me down, down, down, right on down 

There's no running from your troubles 

Or you're sure to make them double 

You will meet your destiny 

Every man is Calvary 

Take me down to Calvary 

Take me down, down, down, right on down 

Take me down, take me down 

Take me down, down, right on down 

I will lay my hammer down 

Set my knees upon the ground 

I will not leave from this place 

Until I see a face-to-face 

Take me down to Calvary 

Take me down, down, down, right on down 

Take me down, take me down 

Take me down, down, right on down 

Take me down, take me down 

Take me down, down, down, down, right on down
