Lyrics:
Paths Of Victory

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
I shall walk.

The trail is dusty
And my road it might be rough,
But the better roads are waiting
And boys it ain't far off.

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

I walked down by the river,
I turned my head up high.
I saw that silver linin'
That was hangin' in the sky.

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

The evenin' dusk was rollin',
I was walking down the track.
There was a one-way wind a-blowin'
And it was blowin' at my back.

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

The gravel road is bumpy,
It's a hard road to ride,
But there's a clearer road a-waitin'
With the cinders on the side.

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

That evening train was rollin',
The hummin' of its wheels,
My eyes they saw a better day
As I looked across the fields.

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

The trail is dusty,
The road it might be rough,
But the good road is a-waitin'
And boys it ain't far off.

Trails of troubles,
Roads of battles,
Paths of victory,
We shall walk.

[screwingupawetdream]

Odetta's version is tops

[biglith1]

@poet49 You're full of shit.

[0olong]

@biglith1 Mm. Doubtless Dylan was violently offended by Seeger singing the first line twice, and slightly rephrasing a couple of bits. That sort of thing is heavily frowned upon among folk singers.

[Columbo794]

The Byrds to a better version.

[GalacticTree]

~ You've got a lot of nerve ~

[poet49]

all bob's words here, do better research!

[poet49]

i didn't hear pete sing a single word here that wasn't bob's, so i don't know why somebody accuses him of doing so

[biglith1]

I love Pete Seeger but he has a lot of nerve changing Dylan's original lyrics.
