Lyrics:

Once, there was a way
To get back homeward
Once, there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once, there was a way
To get back homeward
Once, there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight (oh)
Carry that weight a long time (oh)
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break, I break, I break down
Oh boy, you're gonna (carry that weight)
You're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, carry that weight
Carry that weight for a long time
Oh, once, there was a way (hum)
To get back homeward
Once, there was a way
To get back home
(Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry)
And I will sing a lullaby, mmh
