Bill Monroe - A Lonesome Road (To Travel) lyrics

I bid farewell to my home so dear And started down life's road I was a fortune seeking miner dear Many things had been my goal There's many things I've seen in life I thought I'd like to roam But I'd give them all and more if I Could get off this lonesome road It's a lonesome road to travel on Many miles of sorrow is all I've known But I've gone too far to turn back now From this lonesome lonesome road I left behind a love that's true She cried and begged me not to go But my foolish pride told me what to do And put me on this lonesome road Oh such lonely nights I've never found No time in life before If she takes me back I'll settle down And travel this road no more
