|
After traveling through this world of sorrow |
|
No one on earth to call my friend |
|
I'm on my way back to old Kentucky |
|
Where I met and loved but could not win. |
|
I've always loved you little darling |
|
My heart will always feel the same |
|
I could never do one thing to hurt you |
|
I'd rather die than bring you shame. |
|
When that cold dark shroud is wrapped around me |
|
They lay my weary head to rest |
|
Will you stand around and gaze upon me |
|
For I'm the one that loved you best |
|
When your golden hair is turned to silver |
|
The master calls your soul to heaven |
|
Where we can be free from all our troubles |
|
I'll meet you there at journey's end |
