Lonesome Valley (1930) - The Carter Family

Everybody’s got to walk this lonesome valley

We’ve got to walk it by ourselves

There’s nobody here can walk it for us

We’ve got to walk it by ourselves

My father’s got to walk this lonesome valley

He’s got to walk it by his self

There’s nobody here can walk it for him

He’s got to walk it by his self

My mother’s got to walk this lonesome valley

She’s got to walk it by herself

There’s nobody here can walk it for her

She’s got to walk it by herself

Oh, sinners got to walk this lonesome valley

You’ve got to walk it by yourself

There’s nobody here can walk it for you

You’ve got to walk it by yourself

Everybody’s got to walk this lonesome valley

We’ve got to walk it by ourselves

There’s nobody here can walk it for us

We’ve got to walk it by ourselves
