Thank you, baby, for coming all this way
On the eve of my hanging day
I always loved you better than the rest
But you never knew how I felt

Time and time again, I tried to say
How I loved you in so many ways
Now that time is gone and I've got to go
I'll see you baby, on down the road

On down the road
We'll meet again someday
On down the road
Where there is no pain
On down the road
Our love will live again
When you realize how I feel about you

Now, now baby, I've only one request
I don't want a meal or a cigarette
Just live your life as free as you please
And lay some flowers on the ground beside me

Time has a way of healing all our wounds
And love has a way of leaving too soon
So, when the clouds are gone
And the rain has stopped
I'll see you on down the road

On down the road
We'll meet again someday
On down the road
Where there is no pain
On down the road
Our love will live again
When you realize how I feel about you

So, now, my time is short and I have to go
I hear the sheriff calling from the gallows pole
I'll go gladly 'cause I've done wrong
But I'll be waiting on down the road

On down the road
We'll meet again someday
On down the road
Where there is no pain
On down the road
Our love will live again
When you realize how I feel about you

On down the road
We'll meet again someday
On down the road
Where there is no pain
On down the road
Our love will live again
On down the road, on down the road

On down the road
On down the road
