Snow flakes are fallin' on my head
Lord have mercy, it feel heavy as lead
I been hit too hard an' i seen too much
Nothin' can heal me now but your touch
Once i had a pretty gal, she did me wrong
I'm marchin' to the city, boys, and the road ain't long.

Loneliness got a mind of its own
The more people around, more you feel alone
Well, i'm chained to the earth like a silent slave
I'm tryin' to break free out of death's dark cave
Once i had a pretty gal, she did me wrong
I'm marchin' to the city, boys and the road ain't long.

Boys in the street beginnin' to play
Girls like birds flyin' away
I'm carryin' the roses that were given to me
Thinkin' about paradise, wonderin' what it might be
Once i had a pretty gal, she did me wrong
I'm marchin' to the city, boys and the road ain't long.

Fire's in the skies, looks like rain
Tired of talkin', tryin' to explain
When i'm gone you'll remember my name
I'm gonna win my way to wealth an' fame
Once i had a pretty gal, she did me wrong
I'm marchin' to the city, boys and the road ain't long.

I was hopin' that we'd never part
You took the madness out of my heart
I was hopin' we could drink from life's clear streams
I was hopin' we could dream life's pleasant dreams
Once I had a pretty girl an' she did me wrong
Now I'm marchin' to the city, boys and the road ain't long.

Well i'm sittin' in church in an old wooden chair
I knew nobody would look for me there
Sorrow and pity rule the earth and the skies
Looking for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Once i had a pretty gal, did me wrong
Now i'm marching to the city and the road ain't long.

Snow flakes are fallin' around my head
Lord have mercy, it feel heavy like lead
I been hit too hard, seen too much
Nothing can heal me now but your touch
Once i had a pretty gal, she done me wrong
Now i'm marching to the city and the road ain't long.

Loneliness got a mind of its own
The more people around, the more you feel alone
I'm chained to the earth like a silent slave
Trying to break free out of death's dark cave
Once i had a pretty gal, done me wrong
Now i'm marching to the city and the road ain't long.

Boys in the street beginnin' to play
Girls like birds flyin' away
I'm carryin' the roses that were given to me
And i'm thinkin' about paradise wonderin' where it might be
Once i had a pretty gal, she done me wrong
Now i'm marching to the city and the road ain't long.

Go over to London, maybe gay Paree
Follow the river you get to the sea
I was hopin' we could drink from life's clear streams
I was hopin' we could dream life's pleasant dreams
Once i had a pretty gal, but she done me wrong
Now i'm marching to the city and the road ain't long.

Well the weak get weaker and the strong stay strong
The train keeps rollin' all night long
She looked at me with an irresistable glance
With a smile that could make all the planets dance
Once i had a pretty gal, she did me wrong
Now i'm marching to the city and the road ain't long.

My house is on fire, burnin' to the skies
I thought (.) the rain clouds but the clouds passed by
When i'm gone you'll remember my name
I'm gonna win my way to wealth and fame
Once i had a pretty gal, but she did me wrong
Now i'm marching to the city and the road ain't long.

Loneliness got a mind of its own
More people around, more you feel alone
I've been chained to the earth like a silent slave
I'm trying to break free out of death's dark cave

Once I had a pretty girl, she did me wrong
Now I'm marching to the city, boys and the road ain't long.

I was hoping to my soul that we'd never part
You took all the madness right out of my heart
I was hopin' we could drink from life's clear streams
I was hopin' we could dream from life's pleasant dreams

Once I had a pretty girl, she did me wrong
Now I'm marching to the city, boys and the road ain't long.

My house is burnin' up to the sky
I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by
Sorrow an' pity rule the earth and the skies
I'm not lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eye

Once I had a pretty girl, she did me wrong
Now I'm marching to the city, boys and the road ain't long.

Wind is blowin' all troubles and dirt
It's time to get away or someone gets hurt
I just don't know what I'm a-gonna do
I was all right 'til I fell in love with you

Once I had a pretty girl, she did me wrong
Now I'm marching to the city, boys and the road ain't long.
