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 all alone

To me she was a little angel
Sent down to me from God above
It was on the day that I first met her
That I told her of her love

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 all alone

Many a night we'd stroll together
Talkin' of our love so fair
My love for her will never vanish
For I know I'll meet her there

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 all alone

Travelin' down this lonesome highway
Thinkin' of my love that's gone
Knowin' soon we'll be together
She's the only love I've known

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 all alone

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 all alone
