Let Us Pray Lyrics

CHORUS

 

 I was walkin down the road a carryin

 The load that my father had a given me

 The night before I packed and left the home

 Of my childhood, home of my birth.

 The place in the back of the store 

 Where we would work

 Until the night time darkness

 Brought the end of day 

 Now, Let Us Pray

 

 When my brother was a kid

 Well he often went and hid in the backyard

 Settin' at the feet of my father

 And my mother would appear

 Oh to sooth away the fear 

 That my father had a started

 Pretty soon the trouble parted

 And while sittin' at the evenin supper table

 He'd say Now Let Us Pray!

 

 Oh Pray For Me Burly

 

 CHORUS

 

 Now I travel all alone

 A thinkin of the home

 That my Mom and Dad were given

 In the times they were livin'

 And the backyard swing and the happiness

 Is bringin' out a whole bunch of presents

 For the holiday

 Remember Mom and Daddy

 Are livin' and it's time now to say

 Let Us Pray
