Woody Guthrie - Lonesome Valley lyrics

You gotta walk that lonesome valley You gotta walk it by yourself Nobody here can walk it for you You gotta walk it by yourself Some people say that John was a Baptist Some folks say he was a Jew But your holy scripture tells you That he was a preacher too Daniel was a Bible hero Was a prophet brave and true In a den of hungry lions Proved what faith can do for you There's a road that leads to glory Through a valley far away Nobody else can walk it for you They can only point the way Mamma and daddy loves you dearly Sister does and brother, too They may beg you to go with them But they cannot go for you I'm gonna walk that lonesome valley I'm gonna walk it by myself Don't want to nobody to walk it for me I'm gonna walk it by myself
