Highway of Sorrow
Bill Monroe
I once had a darlin' wife, kind true and sweet,
Life was so bright and gay, everything complete,
But I fell for another who led my life astray,
Now I'll live in sorrow 'til my dyin' day.
Refrain:
Down the highway of sorrow I'm travelin' alone,
I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home,
I'm headed for destruction, I'm on the wrong track,
Down the highway of sorrow there's no turning back.
I went back to my darlin' and fell down on my knees,
I begged her with tear dimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease,
But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive,
Now I'll live in sorrow as long as I live.
(Refrain)
