Look up look down this lonesome road

Hang down your head and cry

For we often lose some things in life

That make us wonder why

Now the finest love I ever had

Now sleeps beneath the clay

I live in hopes and dreams of her

That we’ll meet again some day

Now I often sit and wonder why

Life has to be this way

But after all is said and done

I’m sure God has his say

I’d like to be a small part of life

With some few things to achieve

Just to know I’ve been a fruitless loss

Would make my poor heart grieve

Now after they low my casket down

In some lonesome grave to rest

You can take your last look at my face

You can say I did my best
