Paths of Victory - Odetta

Trails of troubles

Roads of battles

Paths of victory

We shall walk

The road is dusty

Road it might be rough

But the better roads are waiting

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 gravel road is bumpy

It's a hard road to ride

But there's a clearer road a-waitin'

With the cinders on the side

Oh we got

Trails of troubles

And we got

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'

It ain't far off

Trails of troubles

Roads of battles

Paths of victory

We shall walk
