| The trail is dark and dusty
|
| The road is kinda rough
|
| But the clearer road up yonder
|
| With the cinders on the side.
|
| Trails of troubles
|
| And your roads of battle,
|
| They lead paths of victory
|
| We shall walk
|
| I walked down to the valley
|
| Turned my head up high.
|
| Seen that silver linin"
|
| That was hangin"in the sky
|
| Trails of troubles
|
| And your roads of battle,
|
| They lead paths of victory
|
| We shall walk
|
| The mountain was a movin"
|
| The hummin"of its wheels,
|
| Told me of the new day
|
| it was coming across the fields
|
| Trails of troubles
|
| And your roads of battle,
|
| They lead paths of victory
|
| We shall walk
|
| The gravel road is bumpy,
|
| It"s a hard old road to ride,
|
| But the good road is a-waitin"
|
| And the boys it ain"t far off.
|
| Trails of troubles
|
| And your roads of battle,
|
| They lead paths of victory |
