A Lonesome Road to Travel Lyrics

I bid farewell to my home so dear

And started down life's road
I was a fortune seeking miner dear

Many things had been my goal

There's many things I've seen in life

I thought I'd like to roam

But I'd give them all and more if I

Could get off this lonesome road
It's a lonesome road to travel on

Many miles of sorrow is all I've know

But I've gone too far to turn back now

From this lonesome lonesome road

I left behind a love that's true

She cried and begged me not to go
But my foolish pride told me what to do

And put me on this lonesome road

Oh such lonely nights I've never found

No time in life before

If she takes me back I'll settle down

And travel this road no more
