It's mighty dark for me to travel

For my sweetheart she is gone

The road is rough and filled with gravel

But I must journey on and on.



To me she was a little angel

Sent down to me from God above

T'was on the day that I first met her

That I told her of her love.



Many a night we'd stroll together

Talking of our love so fair

My love for her will never vanish

For I know I'll meet her there.



Traveling down this lonesome highway

Thinking of my love that's gone

Knowing soon we'll be together

She's the only love I've known.
