Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn

Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down the lonesome road

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before, before you travel on

True love, true love, what have I done
That you should treat me so?
You caused me to walk and talk
Like I never did before

Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Mr. Gabriel blows his horn

I'm weary of totin' such a heavy load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before, before you travel on

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you decide to travel on
Look down, look down, look down, 
look down that lonesome road
before you travel on
