On And On

Lyrics: Bill Monroe
Music: Bill Monroe

Played by Jerry Garcia with Old And In The Way

Travelling down this long lonesome highway
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Memories of how they once loved each other
And now you are saying goodby

Chorus
On and on I follow my darling
And I wonder where she can be
On and on I follow my darling
And I wonder if she ever thinks of me

I've cried, I've cried for you little darling
It breaks my heart to hear your name
My friends they also love you my darling
But they think that I am to blame

[chorus]

I'll have to follow you little darling
I can't see when the sun goes down
By your side is my destination
[The road] is clear and that's where I'm bound

[chorus]
[chorus]
