Lonesome Valley

(Album: This I Believe - 1966)

You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta go all by yourself
No one else can walk it for you
You gotta walk all by yourself.

My mama said when she was dying
Just before she passed away
Said, "Come here son sit down beside me
You better listen to your mama's say."

"That you gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta go all by yourself
No one else can walk it for you
You gotta walk all by yourself."

Now many men has walked that valley
They had to walk all by theirselves
'Cause no one else could walk it for them
So you gotta walk all by yourself.

Yes, you gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta go all by yourself
No one else can walk it for you
You gotta walk all by yourself.

You must go and stand your trials boy
And you gotta stand all by yourself
'Cause no one else can stand them for you
You gotta stand all by yourself.

Yes, you gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta go all by yourself
No one else can walk it for you
You gotta walk all by yourself.

Yes, you gotta go all by yourself...
