Lonesome Valley

(A.P. Carter)



Well, you've gotta walk that lonesome valley

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself

'Cause no one here is gonna go there with you

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself.



Well, if you can't speak like the angels

If you can't preach like old Saint Paul

You can tell the love of Jesus

Yes, you can say that he died for all.



Yes, you've gotta walk that lonesome valley

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself

'Cause no one here is gonna go there with you

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself.



--- Instrumental ---



Many loved ones away up yonder

Just awaitin' on the golden shore

Let's prepare to go and meet them

Where sad parties will come no more.



Well, you've gotta walk that lonesome valley

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself

'Cause no one here is gonna go there with you

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself.



Yes, you've gotta walk that lonesome valley

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself

'Cause no one here is gonna go there with you

Yes, you've gotta go there by yourself...
