Four hous es down

From me was a

Fam i ly with

An on ly- child

And she was

The on ly girl

In this old world

That could make

Me smile

Down the road

I made up rea sons to go

Down the road

Some where in side

Of me

There was some thin'

She took a lik in' to

And I asked her

To mar ry me

She said she real ly

Want ed to

Down the road

See what life's gon na hold

Down the road

Her ma ma wants

To know

Am I washed

In the blood

Or just in the wa ter

Her dad dy wants to know

If I make e nough

To take his daugh ter

Down the road

Be fore

He can let her go

Down the road

Now down the street

From here

There's an en gi neer

With an on ly son

And our ba by girl

Says she be lieves that

He is the on ly one

Down the road

Her ma ma wants to know

Is he washed in the blood

Or just in the wa ter

And I wan na know that

He makes e nough

To take my daugh ter

Down the road

When it comes time to go

Down the road

Down the road

You know I wan na

Help her go

Down the road

Down the road
