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.
