Mary’s burden

My Baby, my Burden,

Tomorrow the morn

I shall go lighter

And you will be born.

I shall go lighter,

But heavier too

For seeing the burden

That falls upon you.

The burden of love,

The burden of pain,

I’ll see you bear both

Among men once again.

Tomorrow you’ll bear it

Your burden alone,

Tonight you’ve no burden

That is not my own

My Baby, my Burden,

Tomorrow the morn

I shall go lighter

And you will be born.
