| You gotta walk that lonesome valley,
|
| You gotta walk it by yourself,
|
| Nobody here can walk it for you,
|
| You gotta walk it by yourself.
|
| Some people say that John was a Baptist,
|
| Some folks say he was a Jew,
|
| But your holy scripture tells you
|
| That he was a preacher too.
|
| Daniel was a Bible hero,
|
| Was a prophet brave and true,
|
| In a den of hungry lions
|
| Proved what faith can do for you.
|
| There’s a road that leads to glory
|
| Through a valley far away,
|
| Nobody else can walk it for you,
|
| They can only point the way.
|
| Mamma and daddy loves you dearly,
|
| Sister does and brother, too,
|
| They may beg you to go with them,
|
| But they cannot go for you.
|
| I’m gonna walk that lonesome valley,
|
| I’m gonna walk it by myself,
|
| Don’t want to nobody to walk it for me,
|
| I’m gonna walk it by myself. |
