[Verse:]
|
Weary of roaming on, yearning to see the dawn
|
Counting the hours till I can lay down my load
|
Weary but I don't mind, knowing that soon I'll find
|
Peace and contentment at the end of the road
|
|
[1st refrain:]
|
The way is long, the night is dark
|
But I don't mind 'cause a happy lark
|
Will be singing at the end of the road
|
|
I can't go wrong, I must go right
|
I'll find my way 'cause a guiding light
|
Will be shining at the end of the road
|
|
There may be thorns in my path
|
But I'll wear a smile
|
'Cause in a little while
|
My path will be roses
|
|
The rain may fall from up above
|
But I won't stop 'cause the ones I love
|
Will be waiting at the end of the road
|
|
[Additional lyrics as sung in film (more or less):]
|
|
[2]
|
I seem to roam through a field
|
That is snowy white
|
And through the silent night
|
A banjo is strumming
|
|
[???] come back, I roam no more
|
A mammy's heart and a cabin door
|
Will be open at the end of the road
|
|
[3]
|
You'll hear that old Devil say
|
"Come on down below"
|
But you just let him know
|
You're heading for Heaven
|
|
Come on and climb the Golden Stairs
|
And all your troubles and all your cares
|
Will be over at the end of the road
|
