Mighty Dark to Travel

1
It’s mighty dark for me to travel
4 1
For my sweetheart she is gone
The road is rough and filled with gravel
5 1
But I must journey on and on

1
To me she was a little angel
Sent down to me from God above
It was on the day that I first met her
5 1
Then I told her of my love

Many a night we strolled together
Talking of our love so fair
My love for her will never vanish
For I know I’ll meet her there

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.
