Lyrics:

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

My mother often told me, angels bonded your life away

She said I would accomplish, but trust in God and pray

I'm on the King's Highway, I'm travelin' everyday

'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes

Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears

Lord, I just can't keep from crying 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

'Cause I just can't keep from crying sometimes

Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

I thought when she first left me, I'd pray

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

And I just can't keep from crying sometimes

Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

When my heart's full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears

Lord, I just can't keep from crying sometimes

Well, well

There's a good CD with about 20 songs including this one. I don't know if it's still in print but it's very good. It has a quote from Eric Clapton praising his slide playing. Hey didn't Al Kooper of the Blues Project write this song? It was their big number back in the day! Psychedelic version!
