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
It's 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.
