It's been a hard hard journey
But, don't have to worry no more
I keep my light up burnin'
So my man can know the score

One more mile, (one more mile)
One more mile to go
It's been a hard hard journey
And soon I won't have to worry no more

Now they tell me in this wide world
Everybody have a man
And this man that I'm lovin'
He's got me in such a state

But one more mile, (one more mile)
Got one more mile to go (only one more mile to go)
It's been a long hard journey
But I won't have to cry no more (cry no more)

Well I've always been a gambler
Sometimes bet my money wrong
But I was bettin' on my baby
And my baby's coming home

One more mile, (one more mile)
One more mile to go (only one more mile to go)
The journey been so hard
But I won't have to cry no more (won't have to cry no more)

Well I've always been a gambler
Sometimes bet my money wrong
Now I'm bettin' on my baby
And my baby's coming home

One more mile, (one more mile)
One more mile to go (one more mile to go)
He's got one more mile to go
Been a long hard journey
But I won't have to cry no more
I won't cry no more
