It's a long rocky road that has no turnin' When the one you love proves untrue You just sit home alone by your telephone Cryin' your heart out for someone who's untrue It's a long rocky road that has no turnin' Teardrops on my pillow tell me so There's no use to be sayin', I haven't been prayin' For something, my treasure, and know I cannot hold Be faithful, little darlin', that's what I used to say But you paid no attention, you just went on your way Oh, it's a long rocky road that has no turnin' This yearnin', dear, I hold for you There's no use to me sighin', no use to me cryin' I'll travel alone for I'm lost without you It's a long rocky road that has no turnin' Teardrops on my pillow tell me so There's no use to be sayin', I haven't been prayin' For something, my treasure, and know I cannot hold Be faithful, little darlin', that's what I used to say But you paid no attention, you just went on your way Oh, it's a long rocky road that has no turnin' This yearnin', dear, I hold for you There's no use to me sighin', no use to me cryin' I'll travel alone for I'm lost without you
