Highway Of Sorrow Lyrics - Bill Monroe

I once had a darling wife kind, true and sweet 

Life was so bright and gay everything complete 

But I fell for another who led my life astray 

So I'll live in sorrow 'til my dying day 

Down the highway of sorrow, I'm traveling alone 

I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home 

I'm heading for destruction, I'm on the wrong track 

Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back 

I went back to my darling, I got down on my knees 

I begged her with tear rimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease 

But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive 

So I'll live in sorrow as I long as I live 

Down the highway of sorrow, I'm traveling alone 

I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home 

I'm heading for destruction, I'm on the wrong track 

Down the highway of sorrow, there's no turning back
