  • 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. Writer/s: A.P. CARTER, AL ANDERSON, CARLENE CARTER
