Once there was a way to get back homeward   Once there was a way to get back home   Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby      Golden Slumbers fill your eyes   Smiles await you when you rise   Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby      Once there was a way to get back homeward   Once there was a way, to get back home   Sleep pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby      Boy, you're gonna carry that weight   Carry that weight a long time   Boy, you're gonna carry that weight   Carry that weight a long time      (Repeat)
