—Bill Monroe
To me she was my little angel
Sent down to me from God above
When on that day when I first met her
And I told her of my love
It's mighty dark for me to travel
For my sweetheart she is gone
The road is rough and filled gravel
But I must journey on and on
Travelin' down the lonesome highway
Thinkin' of my love that's gone
Knowin' soon we'll be together
She's the only love I've known
Many nights we strolled together
Talkin' of our love so fair
My love for her will never vanish
For I know I'll meet her there
