The same mother Mary in Dresden She had a son aged 19 His name was Jim, and he was the pride of his mother And one day he got a letter From the army, saying: We need you in war And there he went, a thousand times self-assured Hey ho, the road is long We all need to carry on I guess we need a song to take us through the day Six months passed and the mother Had got a letter or two from her son She had begun to prepare for his arrival Then one day while she was doing laundry An army car drove up on the lawn And out stepped Jim’s best friend And Mary burst into tears Hey ho, the road is long We all need to carry on I guess we need a song to take us through the day Now Susanna was the only Child that Mary had left She was a breath-taking living beauty of 15 On the night of her first prom She disappeared without a sound After seven months they still hadn’t heard a sound Hey ho, the road is long We all need to carry on I guess we need a song to take us through the day

Hey ho, the road is long We all need to carry on I guess we need a song to take us through the day Hey ho, the road is long To carry on you will need a song To cheer you up and to remind you things will be fine
