The Blind Man's Trouble - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE BLIND MAN'S TROUBLE. 
My pathway thro' life is as dark as the tomb, No ray of the sun can pierce through the gloom, Like a stream in the valley, I'm winding my way, Trusting that God will soon brighten the day. 
Chorus. Now I hold out my hand, with God for my guide, And a family at home, for which to provide. 
As onward I travel, oh, dark is the way. As it was in the war, where I served many a day. When all around is beauteous and bright, To me all is blackness And roughness And blight.-Chorus. 
While riches and wealth are at your command, There is nothing for me but the child at my hand; The family to me was the joy of my life. With sweet little children and a dear, loving wife.-Chorus. 
There I'll open my eyes with delight and love, To see my dear children and Saviour above; There this darkness will vanish, and new light will shine To brighten my pathway more lasting than time.-Chorus. 
Now, please buy this ballad in remembrance of me, And I hope in life's journey much joy you may see, That light will your heart be where'er you may go. And a blessing upon you the Lord will bestow. - Chorus.
