Carter Family – Lonesome Valley lyrics

Some folks say, John was a Baptist
Others say he was a Jew
But the Holy bible, Plainly tells us
that he was a Christian to

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
you've got to walk it by yourself
There's noone here can walk it for you
you 've got to walk it by yourself

Now if you cannot sing like angels
If you cannot preach like Paul
you must tell the Love of Jesus
that he died for one and all

You've got to walk that lonesome valley
you've got to walk it by yourself
There's noone here can walk it for you
you 've got to walk it by yourself

My father's got to walk this lonesome valley
He's got to walk it by himself
There's nobody here can walk it for him
He's got to walk it by himself

My mother's got to walk this lonesome valley

Most sinners got to walk this lonesome valley

Everybody's got to walk this lonesome valley
