[length: 03:43]
[00:15.94]Seen a man standing over a dead dog
[00:20.07]Down by the highway in the ditch
[00:23.85]He’s looking down and kinda puzzled
[00:27.64]Poking that dog with a stick
[00:31.60]Got his car door flung open
[00:34.77]He’s standing on highway 31
[00:39.11]Like if he stood there long enough
[00:42.27]That dog would get up and he’d run
[00:47.03]Struck me kind of funny
[00:50.68]Yeah, funny to me
[00:54.31]At the end of every hard day
[00:57.44]People find some reason to believe
[01:02.22]Now Mary Lou loved Johnny
[01:06.01]With a love mean and true
[01:10.26]She said “Baby I’ll work for you every day
[01:13.46]And bring my money home to you”
[01:18.35]One day he got up and left her
[01:21.72]And ever since that
[01:25.97]She waits down at the end of the road
[01:29.12]For young Johnny to come back
[01:34.59]It struck me kind of funny
[01:37.83]Funny indeed
[01:41.82]At the end of every hard day
[01:45.07]People find some reason to believe
[01:50.19]Take the baby down to the river
[01:53.60]Kyle William they called him
[01:57.51]Washed the baby in the water
[02:00.62]Took away little Kyle’s sin
[02:05.12]In a whitewashed shotgun shack
[02:08.11]An old man passes away
[02:12.69]Take the body to the graveyard
[02:15.56]And over him they will pray
[02:20.56]Lord won’t you tell us
[02:24.15]Tell us what does it mean
[02:27.81]At the end of every hard day
[02:30.57]People find some reason to believe
[02:35.81]The congregation gathers
[02:39.13]Down by the river side
[02:43.14]The preacher stands with the Bible
[02:46.24]And the groom stands waiting for his bride
[02:50.91]Congregation gone and the sun sets
[02:54.25]Behind the weeping willow tree
[02:58.78]The groom stands alone
[03:00.83]And watches the river rush on so effortlessly
[03:06.76]Wondering where his baby
[03:10.35]His baby can be
[03:13.99]Still at the end of every hard day
[03:17.32]People find some reason to believe
