Bill Monroe - Weary Traveler lyrics
rate meOne 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.
