HIGHWAY OF SORROW (Bill Monore, Pete Pyle)
from "True Life Blues, The Songs Of Bill Monroe" (Sugar Hill, SHCD-2209)
CAPO 4
G C G
I once had a darling, was kind, true and sweet.
G D
Life was so bright and gay, everything to please.
G C G
I fell for another, who led my life astray.
G D G
And now I live in sorrow, till my dying day
Chorus:
G C G
Down a Highway of Sorrow, I m traveling along.
G D
I ve lost all my true friends, I ve lost a happy home.
G C G
I m headed for destruction, I m on the wrong track.
G D G
Down a Highway of Sorrow, there s no turning back.
I went back to my darling, and I got down on my knees.
I begged here with tears and eyes, to give my poor heart ease.
But she was hurt so deeply, she could not forgive.
Now I live in sorrow, as long as I live
(Chorus)
