Hey Ho, the Road Is Long
There was a mother, Mary, in Dresden
her man did not come home one night
she fell asleep holding her pillow so tight
Then in the morning she had a phone call
from the police telling he was dead
he had been drunk and had drowned in the local river
Hey ho the road is long
we all need to carry on
I guess we need a song to take us through the day
The same mother, Mary, in Dresden
she had a son age 19
his name was Jim and he was the pride of his mother
one day he got a letter
from the army saying "We need you in war"
and there he went a thousand times self-assured
Hey Ho the road is long
we all need to carry on
I guess we need a song to take us through the day
6 month passed and the mother
had got a letter or two from her son
she had begun to prepare for his return
One day while she was doing laundry
an army car drove up on the lawn
and out stepped Jims best friend
and Mary bursted out into tears
Hey Ho the road is long
we all need to carry on
I guess we need a song to take us through the day
Now Susanna was the only
child that Mary had left
She was a breath-taking living beauty of 15
On the night of her first prom
she disappeared without a sound
after 7 moths they still hadn't heard a sound
Hey Ho the road is long
we all need to carry on
I guess we need a song to take us through the day
Heart heavy as a stone
Mary was alone
She went down on her knees
an prayed to the lord, please
I am alone
all my birds have flown
and now i fly to you
don't you dare fail me too!
Hey Ho the road is long
we all need to carry on
I guess we need a song to take us through the day
Hey Ho the road is long
To carry on you will need a song
To cheer you up and remind you things will be fine
her man did not come home one night
she fell asleep holding her pillow so tight
Then in the morning she had a phone call
from the police telling he was dead
he had been drunk and had drowned in the local river
Hey ho the road is long
we all need to carry on
I guess we need a song to take us through the day
The same mother, Mary, in Dresden
