Lay Down That Load (Bring It on Home)

Brother, ain't no love for the sun when she's gone

I can't bother

Aint no plan for the hurt when it's gone

Tryna lay down that load and bring it on home

Hey sister Pam

Ain't you worth more than you workin' for?

Would you holler

When they up and ask you to work some more

Honey, you lay down that load and bring it on home

My mama don't see me cry

My papa don't see me learn

My honey has bled me dry

So I toke up and smile

Tryna lay down that load and bring it on home

My brother don't see the light

The man won't see me crawl

The sheriff's on my behind

So I toke up and smile

Tryna lay down that load and bring it on home
