Look down look down : that long old lonesome road
And look up to the good Lord : just before you go
That's a long that's a long : a long old tiresome road

You'll find troubles and worries : that you never found
before
Then look back look back : and see what you're leaving

all alone
To grieve and worry : after the days you gone
Then your days begin dreary : down that long old lonesome

road
And you want the Lord have mercy : how much more further
I've got to go

That's a long old road : a long road that has no end
Then the blues will make you think : about all your
right‑hand friends
