Looked down that long old lonesome road Looked down that long old lonesome road My poor feet is gettin' tired, but still I've got to go There's no train to my home town, ain't but the one way to go There's no train to my home town, ain't but the one way to go That's mile after mile, trampin' that muddy road It's just one thing, that worries me both night and day Ain't but one thing, that worries me both night and day There's a place they call d**h Valley, and it's just halfway You can't see a house, in twenty-five miles around
I can't see nobody, goin' towards my ol' home town I've still got three hundred miles to go, and my poor feet is giving down I can hear the wild cats and panthers, howl when the sun go down Can you hear the wild cats and panthers, howlin' when the sun go down And I've got to go through d**h Valley, to get to my old home town I've been trampin' this lonely road, forty nights and days My poor legs is gettin' tired, don't help me someways Cause I've got three hundred miles to go, trampin' in this mud and clay
