There’ll be no more pickin’ no more choosin’
No more winnin’ and no more losin’
No more askin’, an’ no refusing’
Round the bend of the road

There’ll be green, green pastures, nothing’ weedy
Blue, blue heaven for the needy
Dark, dark shadows just for the greedy
Round the bend in the road

Those with something’, they got nothing’
Yet they’re humble and nice
We with nothing’, have got something’
Acres of patadise

Well there’s no more mowin’, no more ploughin’
No more grumblin’. no more rowin’
No more scrapin’, and no more bowin’
Round the bend of the road.
