[John Carter Cash:] Through the lonely streets and up the hill Past the rabid dogs whose bite would kill To the lonely rock where time stands still Let me help you carry the weight
[Johnny Cash:] On the road of tears where sorrow waits Every step you take makes my heart break Seems to me you’re moving toward hell’s gate Let me help you carry the weight
[Johnny and June Carter:] Let me help you carry the weight Let me help you carry the weight It’s getting dark and the hour is late Lord, let me help you carry the weight
[June:] The sky turned black and the lightning came down Teardrops from heaven shook the ground [June and John Carter:] Looking at his mother I thought I heard him say [June and Johnny Cash:] Let me help you carry the weight
[Johnny and June:] Let me help you carry the weight Let me help you carry the weight It’s getting dark and the hour is late Lord, let me help you carry the weight
Let me help you carry the weight Let me help you carry the weight It’s getting dark and the hour is late Lord, let me help you carry the weight
It’s getting dark and the hour is late Lord, let me help you carry the weight
