Look down, look down that
lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up, look up and seek your
maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn
Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down the lonesome road
Look down, look down that
lonesome road
Before, before you travel on
True love, true love, what have
I done
That you should treat me so?
You caused me to walk and talk
Like I never did before
Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road
Look down, look down that
lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look down, look down that
lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up, look up and seek your
maker
Before Mr. Gabriel blows his
horn
I'm weary of totin' such a heavy
load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road
Look down, look down that
lonesome road
Before, before you travel on
Look down, look down that
lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look down, look down that
lonesome road
Before you decide to travel on
Look down, look down, look down,
look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
