Thanks, MMario!

Is it OK to post the lyrics here? Hope so.

LAY DOWN YOUR BURDEN
(Jesse Winchester) 
 
It's a cold old world that we're walking through.
They ought to tell you at the start,
But it's warm as toast walkin' two by two.
Lay down the burden of your heart.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Just show me, angel, where it hurts
And let your mammy kiss it.

It's a fine fine line between love and hate;
It's hard to tell the two apart,
But what strength I have I offer you.
Lay down the burden of your heart.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Just show me, angel, where it hurts
And let your mammy kiss it.

This song can be found on Mary Black's album "The Holy Ground"         CD         1993
