Lyrics

I asked my girl to come with me She said your way leads to the sea But my own way is the way of woe And to the sea I will not go The path of pain, the rocky road The lonesome highway, the heavy load She said these ways lead by and by Where dreams come true beyond the sky I said your path is not my way I wanted free, you want to pay She promised me, someday I know The fools avoid, the way of woe Straight is the gift and hard the way And high the price, our children will pay Thеy'll curse us high, they'll curse us low Thеy're gonna reap just what we sow Doom in the land, doom in the sea Doom in the farm and factory She promised me, someday we know The fools avoid, the way of woe
