Pack Up Your Sorrows

from Grey County by Tim Harrison

/

about

I always like to record a song from those whose writing has influenced me in some way. This is Richard Farina's Pack Up Your Sorrows. Mimi Farina played the Summerfolk Festival during my time as Artistic Director.

lyrics

Pack Up Your Sorrows
©Richard Farina


Chorus:
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 crying, talking to a stranger
Naming the sorrows that you see
To many bad times, too many sad times
Nobody knows what you mean

No use ramblin’, walking in the shadows
Trailing a wandering star
No one beside you, no one to guide you
And nobody knows where you are

No use gambling, running in the darkness
Looking for a spirit that is free
Too many wrong times, too many long times
Nobody knows what you see

No use roaming, lying by the roadside
Seeking a satisfied mind
Too many highway, to many byways
And nobody’s walking behind
