Bill Monroe - Weary Traveler lyrics

rate me

One night so dark and stormy

when I was all alone

I thought I'd leave my troubles and my only home

my sweetheart she had left me

I hung my head and cried

waiting by the railroad to catch a train and ride

I heard the train a comin' and as she passed me by

I swung upon the boxcar and waved my home goodbye.

I'm a weary traveler I'm always on the go

I ride that lonesome railroad train to where I do not know.

I'm growing feeble my hair is like the snow

I'm on my pathway leading on I know that I must go

and you will follow after no one with you

can be you'll cross the great divide of life into eternity.

I'm a weary traveler I'm always on the go

I ride that smokey railroad train to where I do not know.
