C                         F        C
Well you got to walk that lonesome valley
           G7             C
You got to walk it by yourself
       F                C
Nobody else can walk it for you
                 G7        C
You got to walk  it by yourself
                       F        C
Now mother walked that lonesome valley
           G7            C
She had to walk it by herself
             F                  C
Cause nobody else could walk it for her
                 G7       C
She had to walk  it by herself
                       F        C
Now father walked that lonesome valley
          G7            C
He had to walk it by himself
       F                  C
Nobody else could walk it for him
                G7       C
He had to walk  it by himself
                     F     C
Now John they say he was a Baptist
             G7           C
While others say he was a Jew
             F             C
But the holy bible plainly tells you
                G7         C
Oh that he was  a preacher too
                          F        C
Yeah you got to walk that lonesome valley
           G7             C
You got to walk it by yourself
             F                   C
Ain't nobody else gonna go there for you
               G7       C
You got to go  there by yourself
                         F        C
Yeah we got to walk that lonesome valley
          G7            C
We got to walk it by ourselves
             F                C
Cause nobody else can walk it for us
                G7       C
We got to walk  it by ourselves
                         F        C
Yeah we got to walk that lonesome valley
          G7            C
We got to walk it by ourselves
       F                C
Nobody else can walk it for us
                G7       C
We got to walk  it by ourselves
                     G7       C
Yeah we got to walk  it by ourselves
