Lonesome Valley

(album: Dust On The Bible - 1959)

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 put trust in Jesus
Tor 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 he 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
