[Verse:] Weary of roaming on, yearning to see the dawn Counting the hours till I can lay down my load Weary but I don't mind, knowing that soon I'll find Peace and contentment at the end of the road [1st refrain:] The way is long, the night is dark But I don't mind 'cause a happy lark Will be singing at the end of the road I can't go wrong, I must go right I'll find my way 'cause a guiding light Will be shining at the end of the road There may be thorns in my path But I'll wear a smile 'Cause in a little while My path will be roses The rain may fall from up above But I won't stop 'cause the ones I love Will be waiting at the end of the road [Additional lyrics as sung in film (more or less):] [2] I seem to roam through a field That is snowy white And through the silent night A banjo is strumming [???] come back, I roam no more A mammy's heart and a cabin door Will be open at the end of the road [3] You'll hear that old Devil say "Come on down below" But you just let him know You're heading for Heaven Come on and climb the Golden Stairs And all your troubles and all your cares Will be over at the end of the road
