Thy Burdens Are Greater Than Mine
Recorded by Hank Williams 
written by Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart

C         G7                C
Traveling down a lonely highway
           F                    C
I knew not where the road would end
      F           C
Not a penny in my pocket
     G7             C
All alone without a friend

     G7             C
In a little country village
        F              C
I met a man and he was blind
     F                    C
As I helped him cross the highway
   Am               C           G7           C
Oh Lord I cried his burdens are greater than mine

      F                      C
I can see the light of day I need not feel my way
                    G7           C
Yes thy burdens are greater than mine

      G7              C
Met a lad while on my travels
       F                C
Trying hard to play the game
       F                C
Though his leg was very crippled
       G7                  C
And he could not speak his name

       G7             C
Yet he smiled in understanding
            F               C
Though life to him had been unkind
         F                  C
And as I watched I cried in sorrow
   Am             C           G7           C
Oh Lord I see his burdens are greater than mine

      F                           C
I can speak my name aloud make my way among the crowd
                    G7           C
Yes his burdens are greater than mine

        G7                C
Just by chance I passed a graveyard
        F                  C
I saw a young man kneeling there
       F                    C
In his hand there were some roses
       G7               C
On his lips there was a prayer

     G7                     C
On a stone these words were written
             F                 C
Your soul is God's your memory mine
       F                    C
And as I watched I cried in sorrow
   Am             C           G7           C
Oh Lord I see his burdens are greater than mine
