Lonely Road by Paul Robeson Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1936

I been trampin' all the day
Underneath the skies of grey
But the home I'm headin' for
Seems far away

[Refrain]
Lonely road, I'm weary and beat
You hard and stony road, you're burnin' my feet
As I go tramp, tramp, trampin' on, heading for I don't know where
Lonely road, you're gettin' me down
'Cause you're the only road that leads to the town
I've got to tramp, tramp, tramp along draggin' my load of despair
I don't know or care where you go to; I'm lonely and sad as can be
Got no pal to shout a hello to, there's only my shadow and me
Lonely road, please come to an end
You dark and lonely road, I'm countin' each bend
As I go tramp, tramp, trampin' on, heading for I don't know where

[Refrain]
Lonely road, I'm weary and beat
You hard and stony road, you're burnin' my feet
As I go tramp, tramp, trampin' on, heading for I don't know where
Lonely road, you're gettin' me down
'Cause you're the only road that leads to the town
I've got to tramp, tramp, tramp along draggin' my load of despair
I don't know or care where you go to; I'm lonely and sad as can be
Got no pal to shout a hello to, there's only my shadow and me
Lonely road, please come to an end
You dark and lonely road, I'm countin' each bend
As I go tramp, tramp, trampin' on, heading for I don't know where
