Pete Seeger — Paths Of Victory

Trails of troubles Roads of battles Paths of victory I shall walk The trail 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 battles Paths of victory We shall walk I walked down by the river I turned my head up high I saw that silver linin That was hangin in the sky Trails of troubles Roads of battles 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 Trails of troubles Roads of battles Paths of victory We shall walk The gravel road is bumpy Its a hard road to ride But theres a clearer road a-waitin With the cinders on the side Trails of troubles Roads of battles Paths of victory We shall walk That evening train was rollin The hummin of its wheels My eyes they saw a better day As I looked across the fields Trails of troubles Roads of battles Paths of victory We shall walk The trail is dusty The road it might be rough But the good road is a-waitin And boys it ain't far off Trails of troubles Roads of battles Paths of victory We shall walk
