Brother, as along life's way you go
And you're burdened being below
And your steps are growing slow beneath the load
Let your saviour lend you a helping hand
All you need to understand
As you travel down this lonesome, long lonesome road.


(Chorus)
It's a lonesome road through this world of care
As you travel long, seem to get nowhere
Ask the blessed Lord to bear your heavy load
He'll guide you on this lonesome, long lonesome road.


When your dear friends have turned you down
And the whole world seems to frown
And old Satan tries to steal your crown with his code
Trust in Jesus and I'm sure you'll find
Him a leader, true and kind
As you travel down this lonesome, long lonesome road.
