I've been walking alone up on the road
Darling won't you let me go home
To lighten my load bury my soul
Darling won't you let me be weak,
Weak in the knees, o baby please
Well I could really use a wink of sleep
Or some sweet relief, from all this grief
Darling won't you let me go home
Darling won't you let me go home
Darling won't you let me be free from all of this pain
That's crept through my brain
It's got me weighted heavy like a chain
Or anchor at sea that's wrapped around me
Darling won't you let me be weak,
Weak in the knees, o baby please
Darling won't you let me be free
From this misery, I'm not Hercules
Please don't even try to be brief with all of your love
From heaven above
Let it blow with your sweet breeze,
I'm just trying to appease, all my disease
And I could use a little guarantee that the fruit that I eat
Ain't a poisonous tree
I don't really need sympathy
Just some freedom to be, weak in the knees
Darling won't you let me go home
Darling won't you let me go home
Darling won't you let me go home
