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
