Doc Watson - Highway of Sorrow lyrics

Down the highway of sorrow I'm traveling alone I've lost all my true friends And I 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. Once I had a darling wife She was kind, true, and sweet Out home, it was happy, And life was so complete But I fell for another Who led my heart astray Now I must live in sorrow till my dying day. Down the highway of sorrow I'm traveling alone I've lost all my true friends And I 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 got down on my knees The then I begged her through my tears To give my poor heart ease But she was hurt too deeply That she could not forgive My life will be a sorrow For as long as I live. Down the highway of sorrow I'm traveling alone I've lost all my true friends And I 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.
