I once had a darling wife kind, true and sweet
Life was so bright and gay everything complete
But I fell for another who led my life astray
So I`ll live in sorrow till my dying day
Down the highway of sorrow I`m traveling alone
I`ve lost all my true friends I`ve lost a happy home
I`m heading for destruction I`m on the wrong track
Down the highway of sorrow there`s no turning back
I went back to my darling I got down on my knees
I begged her with tear rimmed eyes to give my poor heart ease
But she was hurt so deeply she could not forgive
So I`ll live in sorrow as I long as I live
