Highway Of Sorrow

(Bill Monroe)



I once had a darlin' was kind, true and sweet
Life was so bright and gay everything's complete
Then I fell for another who led my life astray
And now I'll live in sorrow till my dying day

    (Chorus)
    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 darling and I got down on my knees
I begged her with tear rimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease
She was hurt so deeply she could not forgive
Now I'll live in sorrow as long as I live

    (Chorus)

    (Chorus)

Down the highway of sorrow there's no turning back
