Lonesome Valley
Everybody's got to walk this lonesome valley
We've got to walk it by ourselves
There's nobody here can walk it for us
We've got to walk it by ourselves

My mother's got to walk this lonesome valley
She's got to walk it by herself
There's nobody here can walk it for her
She's got to walk it by herself

My father's got to walk this lonesome valley
He's got to walk it by his-self
There's nobody here can walk it for him
He's got to walk it by his-self

Those sinners got to walk this lonesome valley
They've got to walk it by theirselves
There's nobody here can walk it for them
They've got to walk it by theirselves

Everybody's got to walk this lonesome valley
We've got to walk it by ourselves
There's nobody here can walk it for us
We've got to walk it by ourselves
