Get along stranger

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.
