Weighted down by possessions Weighted down by the gun Waited down by the river for you to come
My darling, you're darning my action Of when three months, I was gone But whose socks were you darning, darling While I been gone so long?
Weighted down by possessions Weighted down by the gun Waited down by the river for you to come
A best friend to your ear of true said I was guilty of sin Said my being gone was the best thing for you But the truth, it all comes through for me and my kin It wasn't the best thing for me but was the best for him
Weighted down by decision Weighted down by the gun Waited down by the river for you to come
Weighted down by possessions Weighted down by the gun Waited down by the river for you to come
While I sat there wondering, you thought that eyes were hid And I had the honor of watching everything you did So now I come with words of pain to bring you news of life If you can't find your woman, don't take another's wife
Waiting down by possessions Waiting down with a gun Waiting down by the river for you to come
