Highway Of Sorrow Lyrics - Riding The Midnight Train - Doc Watson

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.

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.
