REFRAIN:

I cannot come.

I cannot come to the banquet,

Don’t trouble me now.

I have married a wife,

I have bought me a cow.

I have fields and commitments

That cost a pretty sum,

Pray, hold me excused,

I cannot come.

Verse 1

A certain man held a feast

On his fine estate in town,

He laid a festive table,

And wore a wedding gown.

He sent invitations

To his neighbors far and wide,

But when the meal was ready,

Each of them replied…..

(REFRAIN)

Verse 2

The master rose up in anger,

Called his servants by name, said:

“Go into the town,

Fetch the blind and the lame,

Fetch the peasant and the pauper

For this I have willed,

My banquet must be crowed,

And my table must be filled.”

REFRAIN

Verse 3

When all the poor had assembled,

There was still room to spare,

So the master demanded:

“Go search ev’rywhere,

To the highways and the byways

And force them to come in,

My table must be filled before the banquet can begin.

REFRAIN

Verse 4

Now God has written a lesson

For the rest of mankind;

If we’re slow in responding,

He may leave us behind

He’s preparing a banquet for that

Great and glorious day,

When the Lord and Master callus,

Be certain not to say….

(REFRAIN)

I cannot come.

I cannot come to the banquet,

Don’t trouble me now.

I have married a wife,

I have bought me a cow.

I have fields and commitments

That cost a pretty sum,

Pray, hold me excused,

I cannot come.
