[Verse 1]

Jesus Christ been here and gone

What a painful price to pay

He's left his life in a thunderstorm

With just cold dark eyes upon him

Swing pendulum, swing low

Got no place to call my own

Oh my Lord, don't you bother me

I'm as tired as a man can be

I'm as tired as a man can be

[Verse 2]

Jesus Christ been here and gone

What a painful place to leave

There's frost on the limbs of a cherry tree

And this cold, cold wind is burying me

Swing pendulum, swing slow

Got no time to call my own

Oh my Lord, don't you bother me

I'm as tired as a man can be

I'm as tired as a man can be
