| And the lights brightly glowing | B |
| Your laugh is very still and your hands are very chill | C |
| And where may you be going | B |
| 'Though the light of dawn be breaking | B |
| And the birds of morning call | D |
| All the flowers and trees awaking | B |
| 'Tis the long road I'm taking | B |
| The long road the lone road that has no end at all ' | E |
| You that have the red gold | F |
| And the gift of money making | B |
| Since your journey has no end sure you'll need a heap to spend | G |
| And how much will you be taking | B |
| 'O there's little need for spending | B |
| When the grey shadows fall | D |
| And the twilight lies unending | B |
| On the way I'll soon be wending | B |
| The long road the lone road that has no end at all ' | E |
| You that had the choice wines | H |
| In the frail cups glowing | B |
| Is there any need to ask if you'll take a golden flask | B |
| On the road you'll be going | B |
| 'When I walk a spirit shrinking | B |
| Where the grey shadows fall | D |
| There'll be little need I'm thinking | B |
| For the rich delights of drinking | B |
| On the long road the lone road that has no end at all ' | E |
| You that sought the rich man | I |
| And the ladies jewelled glowing | B |
| Since the way is far to wend sure you'll need a true heart friend | G |
| On the road you'll be going | B |
| 'Nay and not an ear shall heed me | J |
| Though I call call call | D |
| When the beckoning shadows lead me | J |
| And no prayer of heart shall speed me | J |
| On the long road the lone road that has no end at all ' | E |
| You that had the hard heart | K |
| And the selfish soul uncaring | B |
| Is there any deed at all that shall let a comfort fall | D |
| On the road you'll be going | B |
| 'Hush the lights of day have ended | L |
| And the grey shadows fall | D |
| And by no sweet thought attended | L |
| I must wander unbefriended | L |
| Down the long road the lone road that has no end at all ' | E |
