Paths of Victory

Trails of troubles

Roads of battle,

Paths of victory

We shall walk

The road is dusty

And my road it might be rough

But the better roads are waiting

And boys it ain't far off.

Trails of troubles

Roads of battle,

Paths of victory

We shall walk.

I walked down by the river

I turned my head up high.

And I saw that silver linin'

That was hangin' in the sky.

Trails of troubles

Roads of battle,

Paths of victory

We shall walk

The evenin' dusk was rollin'

I was walking down the track,

There was a one-way wind a-blowin'

And it was blowin' at my back.

The evening train was rollin,

The hummin' of its wheels,

My eyes they saw a better day

As I looked across the fields.

The trail is dusty

The road it might be rough

But the good Lord is waitin'

And boys He ain't far off.

Trails of troubles

Roads of battle,

Paths of victory

We shall walk.
