Subject: DT Corr: Pack Up Your Sorrows (Richard Fariña)
Here's my transcription of the recording by Richard and Mimi Fariña. Difference from the Digital Tradition are in italics.
PACK UP YOUR SORROWS (corrected) (Richard Farina and Pauline Baez Marden)
No use crying, talking to a stranger Naming the sorrow you've seen Too many bad times, too many sad times Nobody knows what you mean
CHORUS But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows And give them all to me You would lose them, I know how to use them Give them all to me
No use rambling, walking in the shadows Trailing a wandering star No one beside you, no one to hide you And nobody knows what you are
No use gambling, running in the darkness Looking for a spirit that's free Too many long times, too many wrong times And nobody knows what you see
No use roaming, going by the roadside Seeking a satisfied mind Too many highways, too many byways And nobody's walking behind
