Detour (1951 Single Version) - Patti Page

Detour

There's a muddy road ahead detour

Paid no mind to what it said

Detour

Oh these bitter things I find

Should have read

That detour sign

Headed down life's crooked road

Lots of things I never knowed

Because of me not knowin'

I now pine

Trouble got in the trail spent the next 5 years in jail

Should have read that detour sign

Detour

There's a muddy road ahead detour

Paid no mind to what it said

Detour

Oh these bitter things I find

Should have read

That detour sign

When I got right to the place where it said

About face

I thought that all my worries were behind

But the farther I go

The more sorrow I know

Should have read

That detour sign

Detour

There's a muddy road ahead detour

Paid no mind to what it said

Detour

Oh these bitter things I find

Should have read

That detour sign

When I got stuck in the mud

All my hopes dropped with a thud

I guess that my heart strings are made of twine

Have no will power to get

From the hole that I'm in yet

Should have read that detour sign

Detour

There's a muddy road ahead detour

Paid no mind to what it said

Detour

Oh these bitter things I find

Should have read

That detour sign

Should have read that detour sign

Should have read that detour sign
