A#
The trail is dark and dusty
    D#               F
The road is kind of rough,
        A#
But the good road is a-waiting
    D#                F
And boys it ain't far off.

Chorus:
A#
Trails of troubles,
D#        F
Roads of battles,
A#
Paths of victory,
     F    A#
We shall walk.

I walked down to the valley,
I turned my head up high.
I seen that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky.

Chorus:
Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

The evenin' dust was rollin',
I was walking down the track.
There was a one-way wind a-blowin'
it was blowin' at my back.

Chorus:
Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

The gravel road is bumpy,
It's a hard old road to ride,
But the clearer road's up yonder
With the cinders on the side.

Chorus:
Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

Tha mornin' train was movin',
The hummin' of its wheels,
told me of a new day
comin' across the field.

Chorus:
Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.
