Dark Road

[Verse 1]
Ooh, I can't go down
This dark road by myself
This dark road by myself
Gonna be early in the morning, oooh
It's gonna be early in the morning, oooh
Gon' carry somebody else

[Verse 2]
Ooh, my mother died and left me
Ooh, when I was quite young
When I was quite young
Said "Lord have mercy, ooh"
Said "Lord have mercy, ooh
On my wicked son"

[Verse 3]
Ooh stop the train, conductor
Conductor, oh let me ride
Let the poor boy ride
"You have to buy your ticket, ooh
You have to buy your ticket, ooh
Son the train ain't none of mine"

[Verse 4]
Ooh, I started walking down this lonesome road
Now don't you hear me crying?
And I started walking
Down this long, oh lonesome road
Gonna be early in the morning, ooh
Boys, you'll see me go
