09. The Weary Man

1919: The Ballad of Rexford
by Mark Lee Townsend



 

Oh weary man, what the
world is
wrong with you?
you push on, still you don’t
know
what to do there’s
a trail of heartache you’ve
left behind
worst of all,
it is not just in your mind
You have ruined the things
you held so dear
in the sad grip of alcohol and
fear
you can’t think how things
ever got so bad
Weary man don’t you realize
what you had
And you go on living like
you’re only going to lose
Empty, self loathing,
defeated,
battered, bruised
on you go
don’t let it show
There’s a light in the church
just down the road
Hard living man, how you
carry such a load
do you think that you might
just leave it there
O weary man, will you find
that someone cares?
Weary man, you will find
the Savior cares…

MLT-banjo, vocals Ross Holmes-violin
