A Dark Road Is a Hard Road to Travel

A dark road is a hard road to travel
A light road is always the best
A dark road leads you to trouble
While the light road will lead you to rest
Don’t this road look rough and rocky
Don’t that sea look wide and deep
Don’t my baby look the sweetest
When she’s in my arms asleep
A dark road is a hard road to travel
A light road is always the best
A dark road leads you to trouble
While the light road will lead you to rest
I’m going to my new cell tomorrow
To a place I ain’t never been before
When this woman comes to see me
I’ll meet her with a smile at the door
A dark road is a hard road to travel
A light road is always the best
A dark road leads you to trouble
While the light road will lead you to rest
Don’t ever be downhearted
Where there’s a will there’s a way
Tomorrow the sun may be shining
Although it is cloudy today
A dark road is a hard road to travel
A light road is always the best
A dark road leads you to trouble
While the light road will lead you to rest
