Calvary

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Every man will see the day

That his hopes are dashed away

No word can bring him peace

No man can set him free

Some will ramble far from home

Work their fingers to the bone

Some will numb their hearts with wine

To distract their troubled minds

Take me down to Calvary

Take me down, down, down, right on down

There's no running from your troubles

Or you're sure to make them double

You will meet your destiny

[ Levon Helm Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

Every man is Calvary

Take me down to Calvary

Take me down, down, down, right on down

Take me down, take me down

Take me down, down, right on down

I will lay my hammer down

Set my knees upon the ground

I will not leave from this place

Until I see a face-to-face

Take me down to Calvary

Take me down, down, down, right on down

Take me down, take me down

Take me down, down, right on down

Take me down, take me down

Take me down, down, down, down, right on down
