Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys - Highway Of Sorrow lyrics

rate me

I once had a darling wife kind, true and sweet<br />

Life was so bright and gay everything complete<br />

But I fell for another who led my life astray<br />

So I'll live in sorrow 'til my dying day<br />

<br />

Down the highway of sorrow, I'm traveling alone<br />

I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home<br />

I'm heading for destruction, I'm on the wrong track<br />

Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back<br />

<br />

I went back to my darling, I got down on my knees<br />

I begged her with tear rimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease<br />

But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive<br />

So I'll live in sorrow as I long as I live<br />

<br />

Down the highway of sorrow, I'm traveling alone<br />

I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home<br />

I'm heading for destruction, I'm on the wrong track<br />

Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back
