It's A Long Rocky Road

(album: Done Rovin' - 1963)

It's a long rocky road that has no turning
When the one you love proves untrue
You just sit home alone by your telephone
Crying your heart out for someone who's untrue

It's a long rocky road that has no turning
Teardrops on my pillow tell me so
There's no use to be saying, I haven't been praying
For something, my treasure, and know I cannot hold

Be faithful, little darling, 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 turning
This yearning, dear, I hold for you
There's no use to me sighing, no use to me crying
I'll travel alone for I'm lost without you

It's a long rocky road that has no turning
Teardrops on my pillow tell me so
There's no use to be saying, I haven't been praying
For something, my treasure, and know I cannot hold

Be faithful, little darling, 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 turning
This yearning, dear, I hold for you
There's no use to me sighing, no use to me crying
I'll travel alone for I'm lost without you
