I once had a darling, was kind, true and sweet.
Life was so bright and gay, everything to please.
I fell for another, who led my life astray.
And now I live in sorrow, 'till my dying day.
chorus
Down a Highway of Sorrow, I'm traveling along.
I've lost all my true friends, I've lost a happy home.
I'm headed for destruction, I'm on the wrong track.
Down a Highway of Sorrow, there's no turning back.
I went back to my darling, and I got down on my knees.
I begged here with tears and eyes, to give my poor heart ease.
But she was hurt so deeply, she could not forgive.
Now I live in sorrow, as long as I live.
