My Feet Are So Weary

My feet, they're so weary
And my legs can't seem to stand
I've been headed down this broad highway
Trying to make myself a man

Left home when I was seventeen
Had my first love the next year
But she proved to be unfaithful
So I have cried my tears

I can't understand why
I left my home that day
I only know that I'm going back
But I can't pay my way

Now my feet, they're so weary
And my legs can't seem to stand
I've been headed down this broad highway
Trying to make myself a man

Ain't got the money for a cup of coffee
I ain't got money for no food
Last town that I travelled through
The people there said I were no good

Now my feet, they're so weary, lord
And my legs can't seem to stand
Maybe the next town I'm headed for
They'll try and understand
