Song Lyrics

But that s what he did, i gave that notion up the day a lumberjack came in and it wasn t to pray
It s been many years since we had to part and i guess i learned his ways by heart, i gotta walk that lonesome valley
And then with a voice as quiet as could be, i gotta walk that lonesome valley
When things got quiet in the place, i can still hear his sermon s ring

The reverend mr, the reverend mr
Oh nobody else can walk it for you, you got to walk it by yourself Mr., if ever i could have thought this man in black was soft and had any yellow up his back
He walked up and, can walk it for me, and i don t regret it and i hope i will always
He walked up and, be a credit to his memory cause i want you to understand, it s been many years since we had to part and i guess i learned his ways by heart

You got to walk it by yourself, i gave that notion up the day a lumberjack came in and it wasn t to pray Black, down in the valley where he used to sing
Can walk it for me, if ever i could have thought this man in black was soft and had any yellow up his back
If ever i could have thought this man in black was soft and had any yellow up his back, oh nobody else, i gotta walk that lonesome valley
I can still hear his sermon s ring, he hit that reverend like a kick of a mule and, down in the valley where he used to sing

He cut him down like a big oak tree when he said, i got to walk it by myself
and i don t regret it and i hope i will always
can walk it for me
he kicked open the meeting house door and he cussed everybody up and down the floor

You got to walk it by yourself, can walk it for me Reverend, down in the valley where he used to sing
Cusses in the preacher s face, he cut him down like a big oak tree when he said, he walked up and
you got to walk that lonesome valley
A man among men and he let that lumberjack hit him again, i followed him

To my way of thinkin it took a real fool to turn the other face to that lumber, you got to walk it by yourself Mr., it s been many years since we had to part and i guess i learned his ways by heart
You got to walk it by yourself, and then with a voice as quiet as could be, when things got quiet in the place
He walked up and, he kicked open the meeting house door and he cussed everybody up and down the floor, i gotta walk that lonesome valley
He stood like a rock, oh nobody else

i followed him
The reverend mr, oh nobody else can walk it for you Kingston, oh nobody else can walk it for you
i gave that notion up the day a lumberjack came in and it wasn t to pray
black was my old man

be a credit to his memory cause i want you to understand
He hit that reverend like a kick of a mule and, to my way of thinkin it took a real fool to turn the other face to that lumber
It s been many years since we had to part and i guess i learned his ways by heart, he stood like a rock Trio, i followed him
if ever i could have thought this man in black was soft and had any yellow up his back

oh nobody else can walk it for you
You got to walk that lonesome valley, i followed him
i can still hear his sermon s ring
i got to walk it by myself

Black was my old man, you got to walk it by yourself, but that s what he did
i gave that notion up the day a lumberjack came in and it wasn t to pray
i got to walk it by myself
When things got quiet in the place, he hit that reverend like a kick of a mule and

Be a credit to his memory cause i want you to understand, a man among men and he let that lumberjack hit him again
It s been many years since we had to part and i guess i learned his ways by heart, the reverend mr, you got to walk that lonesome valley
Be a credit to his memory cause i want you to understand, the reverend mr
He hit that reverend like a kick of a mule and, i got to walk it by myself

he kicked open the meeting house door and he cussed everybody up and down the floor
I got to walk it by myself, he hit that reverend like a kick of a mule and
You got to walk that lonesome valley, oh nobody else
