[Verse 1]
Sweet[C] mama,[G] lay your burden[C] down
Sweet[F] mama, lay your burden[C] down
Just [F]let me tell you 'bout some[C] truth in life I've[F] found
Sweet[C] mama, Lord,[G] set yourself right[C] down
[Verse 2]
Lord,[C] pride, it ain't[G] worth a US[C] dime, lord no
Well [F]pride, it ain't worth a poor man's[C] time
And it's[F] misery to be so[C] jealous all the[F] time
Sweet[C] mama, lord,[G] be kind to your[C] mind

Sweet[C] mama,[G] lay your burden[C] down
Oh sweet[F] mama, lord lay them trophies[C] down
You know it[F] ain't no good to be givin' me that[C] same old run-a[F]round
'Cause sweet[C] mama,[G] lay your burden[C] down
[Verse 4]
Sweet[C] mama, lord,[G] you're so feelin'[C] fine
And I[F] know that you think this is just a[C] line
But I[F] only put these words i[C]nto this little[F] song
To[C] try, lord, and[G] help us get a[C]long
