Look down look down that long old lonesome road

Look down look down that long old lonesome road

An' look up to the good Lord jus' before you go

That's a long that's a long a long old tiresome road

That's a long it's a long a long old tiresome road

You'll find troubles and worry that you never found before

Then look back look back and see what you leavin' all alone

Then look back look back and see what you leavin' all alone

To grieve and worry after the days you gone

Then your days begin dreary down that long old lonesome road

And your days begin dreary down that long old lonesome road

And you will say "Lord have mercy how much further I've got to go "

That's a long old road a long road that has no end

That's a long old road a lonesome road that has no end

Then the blues will make you think about all your "right-hand" friends
