Get along stranger, carry that cross
The Lord has need of a strong man now
Get along Simon pick it up quick
The Lord has fallen down.
It started on a morning when the sun was hot
I came to town for the temple to see.
The crowds were pressing me and I could not walk
That’s when the Lord came a next to me.
Get along stranger, carry that cross
The Lord has need of a strong man now
Get along Simon pick it up quick
The Lord has fallen down.
So I bent over and grabbed that cross
Heaviest thing I ever did bear
The Lord he walked up by himself
Til they hung him on the cross up there
Get along stranger, carry that cross
The Lord has need of a strong man now
Get along Simon pick it up quick
The Lord has fallen down.
I watched him die but I did not know
What manner of man this was
Now I know and I’m glad I listened
To the voice I heard from above
Get along stranger, carry that cross
The Lord has need of a strong man now
Get along Simon pick it up quick
The Lord has fallen down.
