LYRICS:
Weary of roaming on, yearning to see the dawn
Counting the hours till I can lay down my load
Weary but I don't mind, knowing that soon I'll find
Peace and contentment at the end of the road
The way is long, the night is dark
But I don't mind 'cause a happy lark
Will be singing at the end of the road
I can't go wrong, I must go right
I'll find my way 'cause a guiding light
Will be shining at the end of the road
There may be thorns in my path
But I'll wear a smile
For in a little while
My path will be roses
The rain may fall from up above
But I won't stop 'cause the ones I love
Will be waiting at the end of the road!

I grew up with Kate but never knew she was this good. There was nothing she couldn't do: Christmas, spirituals, rock and roll, jazz, pop, and even Operetta. (Listen to her sing Victor Herbert's "Kiss Me Again"! And even when in her 60s, arguably she sang her best! Then there's "God Bless America", which alone puts her in the Pantheon of American Singers!10 years ago

Interesting that even though Kate Smith's version of this great late 1920's tune is better, in my opinion, than say, Ethel Water's version, there are no comments and minimal views on it. However, Ethel Water's version receives so much attention ? I don't get it. To the musically trained ear, one can hear a weak, inconsistent vibrato in Water's voice, while Smith's voice is stronger and she has better control of her vibrato. People are lame, I guess rap pleases them also.Related Videos
