(*Johnny Horton)
It's a long rocky road that has no turnin'*
When the one you love proves untrue
You just sit home alone by your telephone
Cryin' your heart out for someone proves untrue
It's a long rocky road that has no turnin'
Teardrops on my pillow tell me so
There's no use to be sayin', I haven't been prayin'
For something, my treasure, and know I cannot hold
Be faithful, little Darlin', that's what I used to say
But you paid no attention, you just went on your way
Oh, it's a long rocky road that has no turnin'
This yearnin', Dear, I hope for you
There's no use to me sighin', no use to me cryin'
I'll travel alone for I'm lost without you
It's a long rocky road that has no turnin'
Teardrops on my pillow tell me so
There's no use to be sayin', I haven't been prayin'
For something, my treasure, and know I cannot hold
Be faithful, little Darlin', that's what I used to say
But you paid no attention, you just went on your way
Oh, it's a long rocky road that has no turnin'
This yearnin', Dear, I hope for you
There's no use to me sighin', no use to me cryin'
I'll travel alone for I'm lost without you
