I once had a darling wife kind, true and sweet Life was so bright and gay everything complete But I fell for another who led my life astray So Ill live in sorrow till my dying day Down the highway of sorrow Im traveling alone Ive lost all my true friends Ive lost a happy home Im heading for destruction Im on the wrong track Down the highway of sorrow theres no turning back I went back to my darling I got down on my knees I begged her with tear rimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive So Ill live in sorrow as I long as I live
