Lyrics
Traveling down this long lonesome highway
I’m so lonesome I could cry
With memories of how we once loved each other
And now you are saying good-bye
On and on I’ll follow my darling
And I wonder where she can be
On and on I’ll follow my darling
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
I’ve cried I’ve cried for you little darling
It breaks my heart to hear you name
My friends they all so loved you my darling
And they think that I’m to blame
I had to follow you little darling
I can’t sleep when the sun goes down
Cause by your side is my destination
The road is clear and there’s where I’m boundDemo Videos
