WELL I'VE TRAVELED DOWN A LONG, LONG ROAD
I CARRIED A HEAVY, HEAVY LOAD YOU SEE
ONE DAY THE LORD SPOKE TO MY HEART AND SOUL
WHY DON'T YOU ROLL THAT BURDEN ON ME
CHORUS
WHY DON'T YOU ROLL THAT BURDEN ON ME
FOR YOU MAY STUMBLE ON THE WAY
FOLKS ARE BREAKING DOWN FROM WORRY DAY BY DAY
ROLL THAT BURDEN ON ME
II
AND I LABORED THROUGH A GREAT, GREAT TRIAL
I STRUGGLED SO MANY, MANY MILES YOU SEE
BY FAITH I MET THE LORD AND HEARD HIM SAY
WHY DON''T YOU ROLL THAT BURDEN ON ME
III
NOW I'M RUNNING DOWN THIS LONG, LONG ROAD
I'M FEELING SO HAPPY,HAPPY AS CAN BE
I AM SO GLAD I HEARD JESUS SAY
WHY DON'T YOU ROLL THAT BURDEN ON ME
