Friday Night Poetry

I got the weary eyes,
And I can’t see no mo’
I got the weary eyes,
And I can’t see no mo’
Let darkness cover me.
I said let darkness cover me.
Lawd, let me rest.

My old limbs can’t carry weight;
Gotta put that baggage down.
My old limbs can’t carry weight;
Gotta put that baggage down.
I just ain’t got no strength.
I said I just ain’t got no strength.
Lawd, let me rest. 

My head is a crowded place;
I can’t think no mo’ today.
My head is a crowded place;
So I can’t think no mo’ today.
I swear I lost my mind.
And I swear I lost my mind.

Lay me down.
Lay me down.
Lay me down. 
Lawd, let me rest.
