just a young man by an old road by the route he chose an ancient song old tongue for this man was sung oh I'm carrying a heavy load can't go no further down it's a long road it's a heavy load by a bright stream came an old dream things are never what they always seem so he went on travelling on now he's a long way from home oh I'm carrying a heavy load can't go no further down it's a long road oh a heavy load oh I'm carrying a heavy load can't go no further down it's a long road oh I'm carrying a heavy load can't go no further down it's a long road oh I'm carrying a heavy load can't go no further down it's a long road oh I'm carrying a heavy load can't go no further down it's a long road
