My mamma often told me, angels bonded your life away She said I would accomplish, but trust in God and pray I come on the King's Highway, I'm travelin' everyday But I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes No I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes When my heart is full of sorrow When my eyes fill with tears Well I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes My mother, she's in glory, thank God I'm on my way Father, he's gone too, and sister she could not stay I'm trusting Him everyday, to bear my burdens away But I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes Oh I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes When my heart is full of sorrow And my eyes are filled of tears Well I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes I thought when you first left, I'd grieved for a little while Soon it all would be over, and I'd journey on with a smile But the thought as I get older, I think of what I told her 'Cause I'm on the King's Highway, travelling everyday But I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes No I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes When my heart is full of sorrow And my eyes fill with tears I just can't keep from cryin' sometimes
