| Wake hard in the morning
|
| See the young girl milking
|
| Stream rushing by on a bed of stone
|
| Old goats and sandstone cracking --
|
| All containing --
|
| Squeezing that river like it squeeze your bones
|
| In the long red, red valley people live here too long
|
| In the long red, red valley they only sing the valley song
|
| Some bad people living further down the valley
|
| Not easy for us to do good trade
|
| We got snowmelt, snowmelt sweet water
|
| They got that valley road that they made
|
| In the long red, red valley people dying here too long
|
| In the long red, red valley they only sing the valley song
|
| Holding hands on the hillside
|
| Showing love to your brother --
|
| Your sister and your mother --
|
| But we hate those people down the valley
|
| Has anybody seen Moses?
|
| Get him off that mountain
|
| Bring back the tablets of stone
|
| It’s a wise, wise prophet who keeps his own council
|
| Yeah, leave the other man’s wife alone
|
| In the long red, red valley people live here too long
|
| In the long red, red valley they only sing the valley song
|
| Wake hard in the morning
|
| See the young girl milking
|
| Stream rushing by on a bed of stone
|
| Old goats and sandstone cracking --
|
| All containing --
|
| Squeezing that river like it squeeze your bones
|
| In the long red, red valley people living here too long
|
| In the long red, red valley they only live the valley song
|
| In the long red, red valley people dying here too long
|
| In the long red, red valley they only know the valley song |
