I walked out to the graveyard. Down by the Church of God. I looked upon the one I love. That would soon be covered with sod. . Up along the Ohio river.
Traveling down this long lonesome highway. I'm so lonesome I could cry. Memories of how we once loved each other. And now you are saying goodbye. . On and on I'll follow my darling.
All these many years I've loved you. No one has ever known. No one has ever known but you alone. I've kept it locked inside my heart. And smiled through all my tears.
