lonnie johnson – way down that lonesome road lyrics

look down look down that long old lonesome road.
look down look down that long old lonesome road.
an’ look up to the good lord jus’ before you go.
that’s a long, that’s a long, a long old tiresome road.
that’s a long, it’s a long, a long old tiresome road.
you’ll find troubles and worry that you never found before.
then look back, look back, and see what you leavin’ all alone.
then look back, look back, and see what you leavin’ all alone.

to grieve and worry after the days you gone.
then your days begin dreary, down that long old lonesome road.
and your days begin dreary down that long old lonesome road.
and you will say, “lord have mercy, how much further i’ve got to go?”
that’s a long old road, a long road that has no end.
that’s a long old road, a lonesome road that has no end.
then the blues will make you think about all your “right-hand” friends.
