Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm so weary and all alone
Feet are tired, like heavy stone
Travelin', travelin' all alone
[Verse 2]
Who will see and who will care
'Bout this load that I must bear?
Travelin', travelin' all alone
[Verse 3]
Prayers are sent to Heaven above
'Bout my burdens, woes and love
Head bowed down with misery
Nothing now appeals to me
Travelin', travelin' all alone
[Verse 4]
Give me just another day
There's one thing I want to say
Friends are well when all is gold
Leave you always when you're old
Travelin', travelin' all alone
[Verse 5]
All alone
