I have not come, yeah, to testify About our bad, bad misfortune and I ain’t here a wondering why But I’ll live on and I’ll be strong ‘Cause it just ain’t my cross to bear
I sat down and wrote you a long letter, it was just the other day Said, sure as the sunrise, baby, tomorrow I’ll be up and on my way But I’ll live on and I’ll be strong ‘Cause it just ain’t my cross to bear
But in the end, baby, long towards the end of your road Don’t reach out for me, babe, ’cause I’m not gonna carry your load But I’ll live on and I’ll be strong ‘Cause it just ain’t my cross to bear
