We are going down in the valley one by one
With our faces tow'rd the setting sun
Down in the valley where the mournful cypress grows
Where the stream of death in silence onward flows

We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun
We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
Going down in the valley one by one

We are going down in the valley one by one
When the labors of the weary day are done
One by one, the cares of earth forever past
We shall stand upon that river bank at last

We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun
We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
Going down in the valley one by one

We are going down in the valley one by one
Human comrade you and I will have none
But a tender hand will guide us lest we fall
He is going down in the valley with us all
We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun
We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
Going down in the valley one by one

We are going down in the valley one by one
Yet before the shadowed vale may come the dawn
When with rapture we shall gather in the sky
We shall all be changed, but we should never die

We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
We are going tow'rd the setting of the sun
We are going down in the valley
We are going down in the valley
Going down in the valley one by one

Going down in the valley one by one
