I'm on the road, boys Travelin' all the time But I've never seen a country As beautiful as mine She was such a pretty girl The one I left behind She was such a pretty girl She must have been blind I had to leave her And step out in the world
On a road paved with heartache My fortune somewhere I'm on the road boys Travelin' all the time And I've never seen a country As beautiful as mine Now I'm so far away And I'm full of wine I tell them there's no country As beautiful as mine
