Lonesome Valley

You gotta walk that lonesome valley

You gotta go there by yourself

There's no one else gonna go there for you

You gotta go there by yourself.



Now my mama said, when she was dying

Son, oh son, you've left alone

Yes, put your trust alone in Jesus

And he will lead you safely home.



You gotta walk that lonesome valley

You gotta go there by yourself

There's no one else gonna go there for you

You gotta go there by yourself.

Some folks say John was the baptist

Others say it wasn't true

But the Holy Bible tells us

That he was a preacher, too.



You gotta walk that lonesome valley

You gotta go there by yourself

There's no one else gonna go there for you

You gotta go there by yourself...
