You gotta walk that lonesome valley you gotta go there by yourself
There's no one else gonna go there for you you gotta go there by yourself

Now my mama said when she was dying son oh son you've left alone
Yes put your trust alone in Jesus and he will lead you safely home
You gotta walk

Some folks say John was the baptist others say it wasn't true
But the Holy Bible tells us that he was a preacher too
You gotta walk
