Written by Bill Monroe

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Chorus

     G
It’s mighty dark for me to travel
    C                 G
For my sweetheart she is gone
The road is rough and filled with gravel
           D7      G
But I must journey on and on

Verse 1

   G
To me she was a little angel
Sent down to me from God above
           C          G
And on the day that I first met her
            D7     G
Then I told her of my love

Verse 2

     G
Many a night we strolled together
Talking of our love so fair
            C        G
My love for her will never vanish
          D7        G
Oh I know I’ll meet her there

Verse 3

          G
Traveling down this lonesome highway
Thinking of my love who’s gone
        C          G
Knowing soon we’ll be together
               D7   G
She’s the only love I’ve known
