I heard this song for the first time the other day. And immediately I thought of Johnny and June so I put there pics in the video part. The audio is from a live Doc Watson show in January. If you don't know Doc Watson you should check him out. He is one of the best still going at 85.

  • Yes that is correct - the name of this song is "My Lone Journey! " It is a song about death approaching - no one knows how "long" a journey death may be- but we know it is a journey one must travel alone.

  • Just heard Robert Plant sing this yesterday. It is a very beautiful song.

  • Rosa Lee & Doc wrote this as 'Your Lone Journey', and it seems that when Alison & Robert recorded it on their Raising Sand cd, it got renamed 'Your Long Journey' they also changed a part of the lyric, from 'pangs of grief' to 'pains of grief'... just an observation. Love both versions though.

  • One of the most beautiful yet saddest songs ever written. I cry everytime I hear it.

  • THIS SURE IS WONDERFUL.

  • Had this played at my husband's funeral. Beautiful...thanks. He loved Doc.

  • PURE CLASSIC BRILLIANCE!!!!

  • Inspirational video/song combo. Bravo.

  • Alison has those deep country roots which is surprising for a city girl.

    If you like this song, you need to listen to Oh, Death by Ralph Stanley.

  • This is the best reply I've ever read!
