Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

In a little country village 

I met a man and he was blind 

As I helped him cross the highway 

I cried thy burdens are greater than mine 

I can see the light of day 

And I need not feel my way 

Yes thy burdens 

Saw a lad well on his travels 

Trying hard to play the game 

Though his leg was very crippled 

And he could not speak his name 

Still he smiled in understanding 

Though life to him had been unkind 

As I watched I thought in sorrow 

Son thy burdens 

I can speak my name aloud 

Make my way among the crowd 

Yes thy burdens 

Just by chance I passed a graveyard 

Saw a young man kneeling there 

In his hand there were some roses 

On his lips there was a prayer 

On a stone these words were written 

My soul is God's my memory thine 

As I watched I thought in sorrow 

Friends thy burdens 

I'm just a drifter all alone 

I got no friends I got no home 

Yes thy burdens ...
