Look up, look down this lonesome road |
|
Hang down your head and cry |
|
For we often lose some things in life |
|
That makes us wonder why |
|
Oh the fairest love I ever had |
|
Now sleeps beneath the clay |
|
I live in hopes and dreams of her |
|
That we'll meet again someday |
|
I often sit and wonder why |
|
Life has to be this way |
|
But after all is said and done |
|
I'm sure God has his say |
|
I'd like to be a small part of life |
|
With some few things to achieve |
|
Just to know I've been a fruitless cause |
|
Would give my poor heart grief |
|
Now when they lower my casket down |
|
In some lonesome grave to rest |
|
And you take your last look at my face |
|
You can say I done my best |
