I'm going down this lonesome road
To find my fate or victory
Our God must help us there to win
I'm coming back but I don't know when

I hate to leave my mother dear
My father who is old and gray
But my true love I know will wait
Till come back to you some day

* Refrain

When I come back will you be here
Or will your love fade like a rose
I can never come back and find you gone
My love for you nobody knows

* Refrain
