"For SATB plus a soprano solo. The solo could also be sung by a few sopranos for better balance, depending on your group. At a slow walking pace, with a strong accent on the downbeat. With the exception of the solo section, all parts are within a very comfortable vocal range. Harmonies should be very manageable for most adult choirs."

It's a mighty rocky road. Traveling a mighty rocky road. It's a mighty rocky road, she said, it goes on forever and ever. Sweet water divine. Sweet Savior of mine. Oh, my Jesus will find me in time. Sweet water divine. I hear singing down the road. Can't you hear them singing down the road? It's a mighty rocky road, she said, it goes on forever and ever. Sweet water, etc All the saints been down the road, just before me, walkin' down the road. See them walking hand in hand, she said, though the way goes on forever.
