It's a Long Rocky Road 1951 Songtext
von Johnny Horton

(*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
[*Solo:]
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
