Lonesome Valley - Carter Family

Everybody's got to walk this lonesome valley
We've got to walk it by ourselves
There's nobody else 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 himself
There's nobody here can walk it for him
He's got to walk it by himself

My mother's got to walk this lonesome valley

Most sinners got to walk this lonesome valley

Everybody's got to walk this lonesome valley

Lonesome Valley - Magnolia Electric Co.

I watched you walk out from the world before
And nothing asked you to be much more
Than just a handful of dust
Oh lonesome valley, lonesome valley (x2)
Out here the ghost wears the feathered crown of blues
And the sickle moon to watch over all the lost horizon
All through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley (x2)
Now I’m not worried about heading back
I will be punished by a civil death
If I’ve done enough but not my best
I turn my pain into a simple plan
Harmony onward friend
Dragging myself out again
Oh through the lonesome valley, the lonesome valley (x2)
Now let the wolf judge me as I stand
Harmony onward friend
Until I see that old star again
High over the lonesome valley (x2)
