Andru Bemis - How Tired I've Been Lyrics

The Lord only knows how tired I've been
I'm trying to keep on, but I don't know
When will trouble take my worried mind and let me alone again?
The Lord only knows how tired I've been

I'm trying to make the most I can
Of the worn out, run down wretch I am
I tried to tell the doctor but she would not understand
The Lord only knows how troubled I am

Please tell my ma I'll be home soon
In time to see the poppies bloom
The Lord who knows how tired I've been
Will see me safely home again
