lyrics

This Old World Karen Morand and Kelly Kessler (Blame it on Bristol @ BMI) ©SOCAN 2018
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down
Too many weeds in the garden
Too many rocks in the ground
I broke my back trying to dig it all out This ol’ world is a-weighin’ me down
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down
Too many blues on my pillow
Too many blues in the night
I wish I could sail on this river of tears (and) leave my sorrow behind
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down
I was born with wings

When am I gonna learn how to fly?
Don’t have the words to say
Ain’t got a prayer to pray
Can’t find no peace of mind - I got trouble This old world is a-weighin’ me down Begun April 2017, finished February, 2018.
