Just a young man By an old road By the route he choose An ancient song In an old tongue For this man was sung Oh I'm carrying a heavy load Can't go no further down this long road It's a heavy load... By a bright stream Came an old dream Things are never what they always seem And so he went on Travelling on Now he's a long way from home Oh I'm carrying a heavy load Can't go no further down this long road Oh, a heavy load... Oh I'm carrying a heavy load Can't go no further down this long road Oh I'm carrying a heavy load Can't go no further down this long road Oh I'm carrying a heavy load Can't go no further down this long road Oh I'm carrying a heavy load Can't go no further down this long road
