I Just Can't Keep from Cryin'

I Just Can't Keep from Cryin' - Odetta

Oh I just can't keep from crying sometime

No I just can't keep from crying sometime

When my heart full of sorrow

And my eyes filled with tears

Well I just can't keep from crying sometime

My mamma often told me

Angels bonded your some life away

He said I would accomplish

And but trust in god and pray

I come on the king's highway

And I'm trusting him everyday

But I just can't keep from crying sometime

My mother she's in glory

Thank god I'm on my way

Father he's gone too

And sister she could not stay

And I'm trusting him everyday

I'm may made to bear my burdens away

But I just can't keep from crying sometime

Oh I just can't keep from crying sometime

When my heart full of sorrow

And my eyes filled with tears

Well I just can't keep from crying sometime

And I thought when into first left man

I'd know way bottle a little while

Soon it would be over

And I'd journey on with a smile

But the thought this I get older

I think about what I told her

And I just can't keep from crying sometime

And I just can't keep from crying sometime

When my heart full of sorrow

And my eyes filled with tears

Lord I just can't keep from crying sometime
