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 walk
All by yourself
