Down here my burdens heavy
And the road gets rough and long.
Sometimes it seems I'm all alone
Yet I'll still carry on.
For a brighter day is coming
And it thrills my heart to know
There'll be a pay-day at the end of the road.
There'll be a pay-day at the end of life's road.
When I stroll down the streets of pure gold.
I'll have a crown to wear, beyond compare,
Put on a long white robe.
I'll find my pay-day at the end of the road.
Some folks are planning futures
And they search for earthly gain.
They're busy building hopes and dreams
But it all will be in vain.
But I'm laying up my treasures
And I'm working my way home
Where there's a pay-day at the end of the road.
Repeat chorus twice.
I'll have a crown to wear beyond compare
Put on a long white robe
I'll find my pay-day at the end of the road.
