I'm looking for the lyrics to a gospel song written by Hal Reeves, recorded in 1964 by Jim & Jesse, done in 1998 by IIIrd Tyme Out.

Just got the CD by 3TO, but can't make out some of the words.

Never mind. Thanks anyway. I figured them out, and only made up enough to sing the song!

P.S. So now it's on public record that I talk to myself . . .

Barbara- A sure cure for talking to yourself is to talk to others. Why not post the words, since we don't seem to have them? dick

Here's the Osborne Brothers' version.

LONESOME FEELING
Recorded by The Osborne Brothers

CHORUS
It's a lonesome feelin', When you're travelin'
Down a lonesome road, Down a lonesome road
Nobody cares a thing about me
It's a heavy load, It's a heavy load.

I fell in love in Cincinnati
Her love was true and she told me so
I gave her rings and all my money
Where she ran off to, I'll never know.

CHORUS

I wish that I was in Kentucky
With papa and mama dear
But mama's gone and so is papa
And Kentucky's a long way from here.

CHORUS

TAG: It's a heavy load, It's a heavy load.

It's A Lonesome Road

Brother, as along life's way you go
And you're burdened being below
And your steps are growing slow beneath the load
Let your saviour lend you a helping hand
All you need to understand
As you travel down this lonesome, long lonesome road.

(Chorus)
It's a lonesome road through this world of care
As you travel long, seem to get nowhere
Ask the blessed Lord to bear your heavy load
He'll guide you on this lonesome, long lonesome road.

When your dear friends have turned you down
And the whole world seems to frown
And old Satan tries to steal your crown with his code
Trust in Jesus and I'm sure you'll find
Him a leader, true and kind
As you travel down this lonesome, long lonesome road.

Is there a spinoff version to this called "It's a Long Road To Walk"? (i.e. chorus: It's a long road to walk, yes it is, yes it is, etc.)
