Lonesome Road To Travel Lyrics - Bill Monroe

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 know 

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
