Lonesome Valley - Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie

Well, you got to walk that lonesome valley

You got to walk it by yourselves

Nobody else can walk it for you

You got to walk it by yourselves

Now mother walked that lonesome valley

She had to walk it by herself

Cause nobody else could walk it for her

She had to walk it by herself

Now father walked that lonesome valley

He had to walk it by himself

Nobody else could walk it for him

He had to walk it by himself

Now John, they say, he was a Baptist

While others say, he was a Jew

But the holy bible plainly tells you

Oh, that he was a preacher too

Yeah, you got to walk that lonesome valley

You got to walk it by yourselves

Ain’t nobody else gonna go there for you

You got to go there by yourselves

Yeah, we got to walk that lonesome valley

We got to walk it by ourselves (by ourselves)

Cause nobody else (nobody else) can walk it for us

We got to walk it by ourselves

Yeah, we got to walk (we got to walk)

That lonesome valley (that lonesome valley)

We got to walk (we got to walk) it by ourselves (by ourselves)

Lord, nobody else (nobody else) can walk it for us

(Can walk it for you)

We got to walk (we got to walk) it by ourselves

Yeah, we got to walk (we got to walk) it by ourselves
