Lonesome Valley

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

Some say John, he was a Baptist, Others said he was a Jew
But the Holy Bible plainly tells us, That he was a preacher too

Mother said when she was dying, Just before her breath was gone
Son put your trust in Jesus, And you won't be left alone

If you can't preach like Peter, If you can't pray like Paul
You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all
