I'm going round this world
Going round it, pretty girl
I'm a leavin' and I can't say, when I'll be back around this way
This way, when I'll be back around this way
This way, and it's awful hard to say when I'll be back around this way
I'm goin' cross this land
I'll be that banjo pickin' man
It's been a long, long, long, long time
That I've had you on my mind
On my mind, that I've had you on my mind
On my mind and true love's hard to find
Well I've done had you on my mind
I've been a runnin' through the field
When I was alive it felt so real
They got my down here in a valley low
Cause it's the only one I know
That I know, and it's the only one I know
That I know, it's a long and lonesome road, but it's the only one I know
