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   'Cause on the day that I first met her   That I told her of my 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 on and on      Many a night we strolled together   Talking of our love so fair   My love for her will never vanish   Oh 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 on and on      Traveling down this lonesome highway   Thinking of my love who's gone   Knowing 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 on and on      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
