Look up, look down this lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry
For we often lose some thing in life
That make us wonder why

Oh, the fairest love I ever had
Now sleep beneath the clay
I live in hopes and dreams of her
We'll meet again some day

I often sit and wonder why
Life has to be this way
But after all is said and done
I'm sure God has his say

I'd like to be a smail part of life
With some few things to achieve
Just to know I've been a fruitless cause
Would make my poor heart grieve

Now when they lower my casket down
In some lonesome grave to rest
And you take your last look at my face
You can say I did my best
