Lonesome Valley

(A.P. Carter)



Hark the voice of Jesus calling

Come and work for him today

The fields are white and the harvest falling

Come and work for him today.



You've got to walk that lonesome valley

You've got to go there by yourself

There's no one here can go there with you

You've got to go there by yourself.

My mother told me when she was dying

Just before her breath was gone

My darling one puts trust in Jesus

For I'll leave you here alone.



You've got to walk that lonesome valley

You've got to go there by yourself

There's no one here can go there with you

You've got to go there by yourself.

Some people say John was a Baptist

Others say he was a Jew

But the Holy Bible tells us

That he was a preacher too.



You've got to walk that lonesome valley

You've got to go there by yourself

There's no one here can go there with you

You've got to go there by yourself...
