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...



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 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...

Yes you gotta go all by yourself
